[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 5129 bytes --]

2.6.27-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org>

commit e0a94c2a63f2644826069044649669b5e7ca75d3 upstream.

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.
