So we'd end up with mmap_rnd_bits and also mmap_rnd_bits_compat_delta? (naming TBD) If so yeah I think that would work. It would have the nice property of allowing you to add some more randomness to all processes by bumping mmap_rnd_bits. But at the same time if you want to add a lot more randomness to 64-bit processes, but just a bit (or none) to 32-bit processes you can also do that. cheers -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
