brk: make sys_brk() honor COMPAT_BRK when computing lower bound
Fix a regression introduced by commit 4cc6028d4040f95cdb590a87db478b42b8be0508 Author: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Date: Wed Feb 6 22:39:44 2008 +0100 brk: check the lower bound properly The check in sys_brk() on minimum value the brk might have must take CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK setting into account. When this option is turned on (i.e. we support ancient legacy binaries, e.g. libc5-linked stuff), the lower bound on brk value is mm->end_code, otherwise the brk start is allowed to be arbitrarily shifted.
