include/linux/poison.h: fix LIST_POISON{1,2} offset
Poison pointer values should be small enough to find a room in non-mmap'able/hardly-mmap'able space. E.g. on x86 "poison pointer space" is located starting from 0x0. Given unprivileged users cannot mmap anything below mmap_min_addr, it should be safe to use poison pointers lower than mmap_min_addr. The current poison pointer values of LIST_POISON{1,2} might be too big for mmap_min_addr values equal or less than 1 MB (common case, e.g. Ubuntu uses only 0x10000). There is little point to use such a big value given the "poison pointer space" below 1 MB is not yet exhausted. Changing it to a smaller value solves the problem for small mmap_min_addr setups. The values are suggested by Solar Designer: http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/05/02/6 Signed-off-by: Vasily Kulikov <segoon@openwall.com> Cc: Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: "Kirill A.
