I don't think you want this second patch. Moving ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to the top of TASK_SIZE means you'll be constantly colliding with stack and mmap randomization. 0x20000000 is way better since it randomizes up from there towards the mmap area. Is there a reason to avoid the 32-bit memory range for the ELF addresses? -Kees -- Kees Cook Pixel Security
