int "Low address space to protect from user allocation"
depends on SECURITY
from userspace allocation. Keeping a user from writing to low pages
can help reduce the impact of kernel NULL pointer bugs.
- For most users with lots of address space a value of 65536 is
- reasonable and should cause no problems. Programs which use vm86
- functionality would either need additional permissions from either
- the LSM or the capabilities module or have this protection disabled.
+ For most ia64, ppc64 and x86 users with lots of address space
+ a value of 65536 is reasonable and should cause no problems.
+ On arm and other archs it should not be higher than 32768.

This value can be changed after boot using the
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr tunable.
