225This file indicates the amount of address space which a user process will
226be restricted from mmaping. Since kernel null dereference bugs could
227accidentally operate based on the information in the first couple of pages
228of memory userspace processes should not be allowed to write to them. By
229default this value is set to 0 and no protections will be enforced by the
230security module. Setting this value to something like 64k will allow the
231vast majority of applications to work correctly and provide defense in depth
232against future potential kernel bugs.
