The recent patch to add runtime configuration of the ASLR limits added a bug in
arch_mmap_rnd() where we may shift an integer (32-bits) by up to 33 bits,
leading to undefined behaviour.
In practice it exhibits as every process seg faulting instantly, presumably
because the rnd value hasn't been restricited by the modulus at all. We didn't
notice because it only happens under certain kernel configurations and if the
number of bits is actually set to a large value.
Fix it by switching to unsigned long.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
