Matthew noticed that hugetlb mappings don't participate in ASLR on x86-64:
% for i in `seq 3`; do
> tools/testing/selftests/vm/map_hugetlb | grep address
> done
Returned address is 0x2aaaaac00000
Returned address is 0x2aaaaac00000
Returned address is 0x2aaaaac00000
/proc/PID/maps entries for the mapping are always the same
(except inode number):
2aaaaac00000-2aaabac00000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 8200 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
2aaaaac00000-2aaabac00000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 256 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
2aaaaac00000-2aaabac00000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 7180 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
The reason is the generic hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() function
which is used on x86-64. It doesn't support randomization and
use bottom-up unmapped area lookup, instead of usual top-down
on x86-64.
x86 has arch-specific hugetlb_get_unmapped_area(), but it's used
only on x86-32.
Let's use arch-specific hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() on x86-64
too. That adds ASLR and switches hugetlb mappings to use top-down
unmapped area lookup:
% for i in `seq 3`; do
> tools/testing/selftests/vm/map_hugetlb | grep address
> done
Returned address is 0x7f4f08a00000
Returned address is 0x7fdda4200000
Returned address is 0x7febe0000000
/proc/PID/maps entries:
7f4f08a00000-7f4f18a00000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 1168 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
7fdda4200000-7fddb4200000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 7092 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
7febe0000000-7febf0000000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 7183 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
Unmapped area lookup policy for hugetlb mappings is consistent
with normal mappings now -- the only difference is alignment
requirements for huge pages.
libhugetlbfs test-suite didn't detect any regressions with the
patch applied (although it shows few failures on my machine
regardless the patch).

I submitted an earlier patch that make __phys_addr an inline. This obviously
results in an increase in the code size. One step I can take to reduce that
is to make it so that the __pa_symbol call does a direct translation for
kernel addresses instead of covering all of virtual memory.
On my system this reduced the size for __pa_symbol from 5 instructions
totalling 30 bytes to 3 instructions totalling 16 bytes.

Change header guards named "ASM_X86__*" to "_ASM_X86_*" since:
a. the double underscore is ugly and pointless.
b. no leading underscore violates namespace constraints.
