[PATCH v4 04/10] mips: extract logic for mmap_rnd()

From: Kees Cook <hidden>
Date: 2015-03-04 21:10:48
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, linux-fsdevel, linux-mips, lkml
Subsystem: mips, the rest · Maintainers: Thomas Bogendoerfer, Linus Torvalds

In preparation for splitting out ET_DYN ASLR, extract the mmap ASLR
selection into a separate function.

It seems the entropy gets smaller as the PAGE_SIZE increases. Is this
intentional?
