x86: Increase brk randomness entropy for 64-bit systems

Browse source

[ Upstream commit 44c76825d6 ]

In commit c1d171a002 ("x86: randomize brk"), arch_randomize_brk() was
defined to use a 32MB range (13 bits of entropy), but was never increased
when moving to 64-bit. The default arch_randomize_brk() uses 32MB for
32-bit tasks, and 1GB (18 bits of entropy) for 64-bit tasks.

Update x86_64 to match the entropy used by arm64 and other 64-bit
architectures.
