From 441972dde2baf1369a136fcaa27c06881d6ef013 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 051/130] x86: Fix mmap random address range
commit 9af0c7a6fa860698d080481f24a342ba74b68982 upstream.
On x86_32 casting the unsigned int result of get_random_int() to
long may result in a negative value. On x86_32 the range of
mmap_rnd() therefore was -255 to 255. The 32bit mode on x86_64
used 0 to 255 as intended.
The bug was introduced by 675a081 ("x86: unify mmap_{32|64}.c")
in January 2008.
