From 49a43876b935c811cfd29d8fe998a6912a1cc5c4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 18 May 2005 15:39:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] prevent NULL mmap in topdown model Prevent the topdown allocator from allocating mmap areas all the way down to address zero. We still allow a MAP_FIXED mapping of page 0 (needed for various things, ranging from Wine and DOSEMU to people who want to allow speculative loads off a NULL pointer). Tested by Chris Wright.
