Subject: [PATCH] arm64: Add config to limit user space to 47bits
Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2016 17:42:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1468424567-15925-1-git-send-email-agraf@suse.de> (raw)
Some user space applications are known to break with 48 bits virtual
address space. As interim step until the world is healed and everyone
embraces correct code, this patch allows to only expose 47 bits of
virtual address space to user space.
