mm: mmap: Allow for "high" userspace addresses
This patch adds support for "high" userspace addresses that are optionally supported on the system and have to be requested via a hint mechanism ("high" addr parameter to mmap). Architectures such as powerpc and x86 achieve this by making changes to their architectural versions of arch_get_unmapped_* functions. However, on arm64 we use the generic versions of these functions. Rather than duplicate the generic arch_get_unmapped_* implementations for arm64, this patch instead introduces two architectural helper macros and applies them to arch_get_unmapped_*: arch_get_mmap_end(addr) - get mmap upper limit depending on addr hint arch_get_mmap_base(addr, base) - get mmap_base depending on addr hint If these macros are not defined in architectural code then they default to (TASK_SIZE) and (base) so should not introduce any behavioural changes to architectures that do not define them.
