Kees Cook 03475167fd x86: Increase brk randomness entropy for 64-bit systems
[ Upstream commit 44c76825d6eefee9eb7ce06c38e1a6632ac7eb7d ]

In commit c1d171a002 ("x86: randomize brk"), arch_randomize_brk() was
defined to use a 32MB range (13 bits of entropy), but was never increased
when moving to 64-bit. The default arch_randomize_brk() uses 32MB for
32-bit tasks, and 1GB (18 bits of entropy) for 64-bit tasks.

Update x86_64 to match the entropy used by arm64 and other 64-bit
architectures.

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
