On machines with 5-level paging we don't want to allocate mapping above
47-bit unless user explicitly asked for it. See b569bab7 ("x86/mm:
Prepare to expose larger address space to userspace") for details.

c715b72c ("mm: revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base
changes") broke the behaviour. After the commit elf binary and heap got
mapped above 47-bits.

Use DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW instead of TASK_SIZE to determine ELF_ET_DYN_BASE so
it's forced to be below 47-bits unconditionally.

Fixes: c715b72c ("mm: revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
