I tried to boot this -next tree built for the ARM platform I maintain,
and it did not make it to userspace. When I revert your patch
"fs/binfmt_elf.c: drop MAP_FIXED usage from elf_map" the system boots
as expected.

There are a lot of messages on the way up that look like this:

[    2.527460] Uhuuh, elf segement at 000d9000 requested but the
memory is mapped already
[    2.540160] Uhuuh, elf segement at 000d9000 requested but the
memory is mapped already
[    2.546153] Uhuuh, elf segement at 000d9000 requested but the
memory is mapped already

And then trying to run userspace looks like this:

 [    3.116476] Uhuuh, elf segement at 000d9000 requested but the
memory is mapped already

I've built the aspeed_g5_defconfig, which is a 32 bit ARM machine. The
full dmesg is attached.

I noted a report of this for ppc64, but I'm not on that list:
