From e0a94c2a63f2644826069044649669b5e7ca75d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2009 16:04:31 -0400 Subject: security: use mmap_min_addr indepedently of security models This patch removes the dependency of mmap_min_addr on CONFIG_SECURITY. It also sets a default mmap_min_addr of 4096. mmapping of addresses below 4096 will only be possible for processes with CAP_SYS_RAWIO.
