I rewrote the chagnelog as below.  Please confirm that it makes sense?


Subject: fs/exec.c: fix value of vma->vm_pgoff for the stack VMA of 32-bit processes
From: Ying Han <yinghan@...gle.com>

With a 32 bit binary running on a 64 bit system, the /proc/pid/maps for
the [stack] VMA displays a 64-bit address:

ff96c000-ff981000 rwxp 7ffffffea000 00:00 0 [stack]

This is because vma->vm_pgoff for that VMA is incorrectly being stored in
units of offset-in-bytes.  It should be stored in units of offset-in-pages.
