The patch titled
     Subject: arm: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4MB
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     arm-reduce-elf_et_dyn_base.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
Subject: arm: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4MB

Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region, we
have more freedom to decide where we position PIE binaries in the address
space to avoid possible collisions with mmap or stack regions.

4MB is chosen here mainly to have parity with x86, where this is the
traditional minimum load location, likely to avoid historically requiring
a 4MB page table entry when only a portion of the first 4MB would be used
(since the NULL address is avoided).  For ARM the position could be
0x8000, the standard ET_EXEC load address, but that is needlessly close to
the NULL address, and anyone running PIE on 32-bit ARM will have an MMU,
so the tight mapping is not needed.
