Andi Kleen 6ae53cd496 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix stack/mmap randomization for compat tasks
ia32_setup_arg_pages would ignore the passed in random stack top
and use its own static value.

Now it uses the 8bit of randomness native i386 would use too.

This indirectly fixes mmap randomization for 32bit processes too,
which depends on the stack randomization.

Should also give slightly better virtual cache colouring and
possibly better performance with HyperThreading.

Andi Kleen 913bd90601 [PATCH] x86_64: Increase the variability of the process stack on 64bit architectures
8MB is not really very random, use 1GB (or more with larger page sizes)
instead.

Also use the low bits of the random generator output now instead of
throwing them away.

Only enabled on x86-64 right now. Other architectures need to add
a suitable STACK_RND_MASK

Tim Schmielau 8c65b4a604 [PATCH] fix remaining missing includes
Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous
fix-missing-includes.patch.  This should now allow not to include sched.h
from module.h, which is done by a followup patch.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
