[ Upstream commitc61c7def1f] Commitea7e0480a4("MIPS: VDSO: Always map near top of user memory") set VDSO_RANDOMIZE_SIZE to 256MB for 64bit kernel. But take a look at arch/mips/mm/mmap.c we can see that MIN_GAP is 128MB, which means the mmap_base may be at (user_address_top - 128MB). This make the stack be surrounded by mmaped areas, then stack expanding fails and causes a segmentation fault. Therefore, VDSO_RANDOMIZE_SIZE should be less than MIN_GAP and this patch reduce it to 64MB.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
