5-level paging provides a 56-bit virtual address space for user space application. But the kernel defaults to mappings below the 47-bit address space boundary, which is the upper bound for 4-level paging, unless an application explicitely request it by using a mmap(2) address hint above the 47-bit boundary. The kernel prevents mappings which spawn across the 47-bit boundary unless mmap(2) was invoked with MAP_FIXED. Add a self-test that covers the corner cases of the interface and validates the correctness of the implementation. [ tglx: Massaged changelog once more ] Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
