What about the following instead:

#define arch_get_mmap_end(addr, len, flags) \
({ \
unsigned long mmap_end; \
if ((addr) >= VA_USER_SV57) \
mmap_end = STACK_TOP_MAX; \ // Maybe a comment here that
says it returns the max user address of the current mode, not obvious
at first sight.
else \
mmap_end = DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW; \
mmap_end; \
})

The only corner case is when sv57 is active, then only a hint greater
than VA_USER_SV57 can return a sv57 user address. Otherwise, we just
need to return the default mmap end right?

>From arch_pick_mmap_layout()
(https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/mm/util.c#L433), the
"base" argument is:

- either STACK_TOP in top-down (more or less some random offset)
- or TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE in bottom-up (more or less some random offset)

When bottom-up is the current mode, we should not change the base, so
adding (VA_USER_SV57 - DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW) in the first case is not
right for me. When sv48 or sv57 are the active mode,
DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW is equal to VA_USER_SV48 right? So (VA_USER_SV48 -
DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW) is 0, so not useful. And for the last case, when
the user asks for a sv39 address whereas the active mode is sv48 or
sv57, then (VA_USER_SV39 - DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW) is negative and the
base is smaller which is not correct.

In the bottom-up case, we should preserve the base and I think that
again, only sv57 is the corner case to deal with.
