Serenity defines a protected range of memory that must not be mmapped,
and is apparently reserved for kernel tasks. In this case, the protected
range is anything below 0x800000.
However, in its default setting, binutils chooses the memory address
0x400000 as the mapping address for executables that do not have PIE
enabled, resulting in mmap being unable to map the file unless the load
address has been overwritten at link time or if it's a PIE.
To mitigate this, move the default base address somewhere outside of
that range (and preferably not anywhere close near the beginning of the
useable virtual memory space, to avoid running into it during sequential
allocations).
I locally modified Meta/serenity.sh to pass `--dev` to BuildIt.sh
in build_toolchain(). Then I ran `Meta/serenity.sh rebuild-toolchain`,
cd'd into Toolchain/Tarballs/binutils-2.37, `git add`ed unadded files in
`git status`, and then ran `git diff > ../../Patches/binutils.patch`.
Then I did the same for Toolchain/Tarballs/gcc-11.2.0 (and was careful
not to `git add` serenity-kernel.h, since that's created by
Toolchain/BuildIt.sh).
No behavior change. This just rewrites the patch like git writes it.
Previously the toolchain's binutils would not have been able to
build binaries on 32-bit host systems (not that this would be
much of an issue nowadays) because one of the #ifdefs was in
the wrong place.
I moved the #ifdef in the port's patch and this now updates
the toolchain's patch file to match the port's patch.
