Future changes will need to add a new member to struct
vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that
doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member
manually, so if new members are added they will be uninitialized and the
core code parsing the struct will see garbage in the new member.
It could be possible to initialize the new member manually to 0 at each
call site. This and a couple other options were discussed, and a working
consensus (see links) was that in general the best way to accomplish this
would be via static initialization with designated member initiators.
Having some struct vm_unmapped_area_info instances not zero initialized
will put those sites at risk of feeding garbage into vm_unmapped_area() if
the convention is to zero initialize the struct and any new member
addition misses a call site that initializes each member manually.
It could be possible to leave the code mostly untouched, and just change
the line:
struct vm_unmapped_area_info info
to:
struct vm_unmapped_area_info info = {};
However, that would leave cleanup for the members that are manually set to
zero, as it would no longer be required.
So to be reduce the chance of bugs via uninitialized members, instead
simply continue the process to initialize the struct this way tree wide.
This will zero any unspecified members. Move the member initializers to
the struct declaration when they are known at that time. Leave the
members out that were manually initialized to zero, as this would be
redundant for designated initializers.

Do like most other architectures and provide randomisation also to
"legacy" memory mappings, by adding the random factor to
mm->mmap_base in arch_pick_mmap_layout().
See commit 8b8addf891de ("x86/mm/32: Enable full randomization on
i386 and X86_32") for all explanations and benefits of that mmap
randomisation.
At the moment, slice_find_area_bottomup() doesn't use mm->mmap_base
but uses the fixed TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE instead.
slice_find_area_bottomup() being used as a fallback to
slice_find_area_topdown(), it can't use mm->mmap_base
directly.
Instead of always using TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE as base address, leave
it to the caller. When called from slice_find_area_topdown()
TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE is used. Otherwise mm->mmap_base is used.

hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() is now identical to the
generic version if only RADIX is enabled, so move it
to slice.c and let it fallback on the generic one
when HASH MMU is not compiled in.
Do the same with arch_get_unmapped_area() and
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown().

Since commit 555904d07eef ("powerpc/8xx: MM_SLICE is not needed
anymore") only book3s/64 selects CONFIG_PPC_MM_SLICES.
Move slice.c into mm/book3s64/
Move necessary stuff in asm/book3s/64/slice.h and
remove asm/slice.h
