[PATCH v2] Arm64: ASLR: Don't randomise text when randomise_va_space == 0

From: Arun Chandran
Date: Fri Oct 10 2014 - 07:33:00 EST


When user asks to turn off ASLR by writing "0" to
/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space there should not be
any randomization to mmap base, stack, VDSO, libs, text and heap

Currently arm64 violates this behavior by randomising text.
Fix this.

Changes since v1:
removed randomize_et_dyn()
---

This can be tested using the code below

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
printf("main = %p\n", main);
return 0;
}

* compile it possition independently
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -fPIE -pie aslr.c -o aslr

* run it on the target

* Behavior before the patch

# for i in 1 2 3 4 5 ; do ./aslr ; done
main = 0x557020a950
main = 0x5561e55950
main = 0x5563e3a950
main = 0x555af30950
main = 0x5592859950
#
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# for i in 1 2 3 4 5 ; do ./aslr ; done
main = 0x555927f950
main = 0x556829b950
main = 0x5566625950
main = 0x556b533950
main = 0x555c84d950

* Behavior after the patch

# for i in 1 2 3 4 5 ; do ./aslr ; done
main = 0x7f91988950
main = 0x7fb17b6950
main = 0x7f7805a950
main = 0x7fa372e950
main = 0x7f9cc1e950
#
# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# for i in 1 2 3 4 5 ; do ./aslr ; done
main = 0x5555555950
main = 0x5555555950
main = 0x5555555950
main = 0x5555555950
main = 0x5555555950
