Subject: [PATCH 121/133] x86 get_unmapped_area(): use proper mmap base for bottom-up direction

3.8.13.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Radu Caragea <sinaelgl@...il.com>

commit df54d6fa54275ce59660453e29d1228c2b45a826 upstream.

When the stack is set to unlimited, the bottomup direction is used for
mmap-ings but the mmap_base is not used and thus effectively renders
ASLR for mmapings along with PIE useless.
