------------------------------------------------------ From: Christophe Leroy christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu Subject: mm, hugetlb: allow for "high" userspace addresses

This is a fix for commit f6795053dac8 ("mm: mmap: Allow for "high" userspace addresses") for hugetlb.

This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap).

Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to their architectural versions of hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() function. However, arm64 uses the generic version of that function.

So take into account arch_get_mmap_base() and arch_get_mmap_end() in hugetlb_get_unmapped_area(). To allow that, move those two macros out of mm/mmap.c into include/linux/sched/mm.h

If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural changes to architectures that do not define them.

For the time being, only ARM64 is affected by this change.

Catalin (ARM64) said

: We should have fixed hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() as well when we added : support for 52-bit VA. The reason for commit f6795053dac8 was to prevent : normal mmap() from returning addresses above 48-bit by default as some : user-space had hard assumptions about this. : : It's a slight ABI change if you do this for hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() : but I doubt anyone would notice. It's more likely that the current : behaviour would cause issues, so I'd rather have them consistent.
