[PATCH] x86, mm: get ASLR works for hugetlb mappings

From: Kirill A. Shutemov
Date: Fri Nov 15 2013 - 17:14:05 EST


Matthew noticed that hugetlb doesn't participate in ASLR on x86-64.

% for i in `seq 3`; do
> tools/testing/selftests/vm/map_hugetlb | grep address
> done
Returned address is 0x2aaaaac00000
Returned address is 0x2aaaaac00000
Returned address is 0x2aaaaac00000

/proc/PID/maps entries for the mapping are always the same (except inode
number):

2aaaaac00000-2aaabac00000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 8200 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
2aaaaac00000-2aaabac00000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 256 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
2aaaaac00000-2aaabac00000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 7180 /anon_hugepage (deleted)

The reason is generic hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() which is used on
x86-64. It doesn't support randomization and use bottom-up unmapped
area lookup, instead of usual top-down on x86-64.

x86 has arch-specific hugetlb_get_unmapped_area(), but it's used only on
x86-32.

Let's use arch-specific hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() on x86-64 too.
It fixes the issue and switch hugetlb to use top-down unmapped area
lookup.

% for i in `seq 3`; do
> tools/testing/selftests/vm/map_hugetlb | grep address
> done
Returned address is 0x7f4f08a00000
Returned address is 0x7fdda4200000
Returned address is 0x7febe0000000

/proc/PID/maps entries:

7f4f08a00000-7f4f18a00000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 1168 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
7fdda4200000-7fddb4200000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 7092 /anon_hugepage (deleted)
7febe0000000-7febf0000000 rw-p 00000000 00:0c 7183 /anon_hugepage (deleted)

Unmapped area lookup policy for hugetlb mappings is consistent with
normal mappings now -- the only difference is alignment requirements for
huge pages.

libhugetlbfs test-suite didn't detect any regressions with the patch
applied (although it shows few failures on my machine regardless the
patch).
