Some applications rely on placing data in free bits addresses allocated by mmap. Various architectures (eg. x86, arm64, powerpc) restrict the address returned by mmap to be less than the 48-bit address space, unless the hint address uses more than 47 bits (the 48th bit is reserved for the kernel address space).
The riscv architecture needs a way to similarly restrict the virtual address space. On the riscv port of OpenJDK an error is thrown if attempted to run on the 57-bit address space, called sv57 [1]. golang has a comment that sv57 support is not complete, but there are some workarounds to get it to mostly work [2].
These applications work on x86 because x86 does an implicit 47-bit restriction of mmap() address that contain a hint address that is less than 48 bits.
Instead of implicitly restricting the address space on riscv (or any current/future architecture), provide a flag to the personality syscall that can be used to ensure an application works in any arbitrary VA space. A similar feature has already been implemented by the personality syscall in ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT.
This flag will also allow seemless compatibility between all architectures, so applications like Go and OpenJDK that use bits in a virtual address can request the exact number of bits they need in a generic way. The flag can be checked inside of vm_unmapped_area() so that this flag does not have to be handled individually by each architecture.

Tested on MIPS VA 48 system, fixed pointer tagging on mozjs!
Thanks!
