For a 64-bit process the randomization of the program break is quite large with 1GB. That is as big as the randomization of the anonymous mapping base, for a test case started with '/lib/ld64.so.1 <exec>' it can happen that the heap is placed after the stack. To avoid this limit the program break randomization to 32MB for 64-bit and keep 8MB for 31-bit.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
