If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer N.
+config SECURITY_DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR
+ int "Low address space to protect from user allocation"
+ depends on SECURITY
+ default 0
+ help
+ This is the portion of low virtual memory which should be protected
+ 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.
+
+ This value can be changed after boot using the
+ /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr tunable.
