From: Benjamin Berg <benjamin.berg at intel.com>

This patchset fixes a few bugs, adds a new method of discovering the
host task size and finally adds four level page table support. All of
this means the userspace TASK_SIZE is much larger and in turns permits
userspace applications that need a lot of virtual addresses to work
fine.

One such application is ASAN which uses a fixed address in memory that
would otherwise not be addressable.

Benjamin Berg (5):
  um: Fix stub_start address calculation
  um: Limit TASK_SIZE to the addressable range
  um: Do a double clone to disable rseq
  um: Discover host_task_size from envp
  um: Add 4 level page table support
