[PATCH v2 0/5] split ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR

To address the "offset2lib" ASLR weakness[1], this separates ET_DYN
ASLR from mmap ASLR, as already done on s390. The architectures
that are already randomizing mmap (arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390,
and x86), have their various forms of arch_mmap_rnd() made available
via the new CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE. For these architectures,
arch_randomize_brk() is collapsed as well.

This is an alternative to the solutions in:

Thanks!
