mm: mmap: allow for the maximum number of bits for randomizing mmap_base by default
commit 3afb76a66b5559a7b595155803ce23801558a7a9 upstream.
An ASLR regression was noticed [1] and tracked down to file-mapped areas
being backed by THP in recent kernels. The 21-bit alignment constraint
for such mappings reduces the entropy for randomizing the placement of
64-bit library mappings and breaks ASLR completely for 32-bit libraries.
The reported issue is easily addressed by increasing vm.mmap_rnd_bits and
vm.mmap_rnd_compat_bits. This patch just provides a simple way to set
ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS and ARCH_MMAP_RND_COMPAT_BITS to their maximum values
allowed by the architecture at build time.

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: default to `y' if 32-bit, per Rafael]
