[PATCH] [RESEND] PIE executable randomization

From: Jiri Kosina
Date: Wed Aug 08 2007 - 10:02:27 EST


Hi Andrew,

below is a respin of the patch for executable code address randomization
of PIE binaries, which already went through -mm into 2.6.22, but then got
reverted because of bugreports stating that klibc binaries segfault due to
this patch. However it turned out that this was bug in klibc 1.4 which has
already been fixed in klibc 1.5 [1].

I have rebased the patch against 2.6.23-rc1-mm2 and fixed a BAD_ADDR
macro, which was wrong in the original patch and fix for which was
probably missed [2].

=======

This patch is using mmap()'s randomization functionality in such a way
that it maps the main executable of (specially compiled/linked -pie/-fpie)
ET_DYN binaries onto a random address (in cases in which mmap() is allowed
to perform a randomization).

The code has been extraced from Ingo's exec-shield patch
