Linus Torvalds b3f7525556 Revert "mm: mmap: allow for the maximum number of bits for randomizing mmap_base by default"
commit 14d7c92f8d upstream.

This reverts commit 3afb76a66b.

This was a wrongheaded workaround for an issue that had already been
fixed much better by commit 4ef9ad19e1 ("mm: huge_memory: don't force
huge page alignment on 32 bit").

Asking users questions at kernel compile time that they can't make sense
of is not a viable strategy.  And the fact that even the kernel VM
maintainers apparently didn't catch that this "fix" is not a fix any
more pretty much proves the point that people can't be expected to
understand the implications of the question.

It may well be the case that we could improve things further, and that
__thp_get_unmapped_area() should take the mapping randomization into
account even for 64-bit kernels.  Maybe we should not be so eager to use
THP mappings.

But in no case should this be a kernel config option.

README

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.
