[PATCHv5 0/5] Fix compatible mmap() return pointer over 4Gb

From: Dmitry Safonov
Date: Tue Feb 14 2017 - 13:40:49 EST


There are a couple of fixes related to x86 mmap():
o 1-2 are just preparation to introduce new mmap bases
o 3 fixes 32-bit syscall returning address over 4Gb in applications,
launched from 64-bit binaries. This is done by introducing new bases:
mmap_compat_base and mmap_compat_legacy_base.
Those bases are separated from 64-bit ones, which allows to use
mmap base according to bitness of the syscall.
Which makes the behavior of 32-bit syscalls the same independently
of launched binary's bitness (the same for 64-bit syscalls).
It also makes possible to allocate with 64-bit mmap() address higher
than 4Gb in compat ELFs - that may be used when 4Gb is not enough or
with MAP_FIXED for hiding that mapping from 32-bit address space.
o 4 fixes behavior of MAP_32BIT - at this moment it's related
to the bitness of executed binary, not of the syscall.
o 5 is a selftest to check that 32-bit mmap() does return 32-bit
pointer.

Changes since v4 (Thomas's review):
- rewrote changelogs (so they should be readable by humans also)
- made code simpler (fighting to ifdef horror, etc)

Changes since v3:
- fixed usage of 64-bit random mask for 32-bit mm->mmap_compat_base,
during introducing mmap_compat{_legacy,}_base

Changes since v2:
- don't distinguish native and compat tasks by TIF_ADDR32,
introduced mmap_compat{_legacy,}_base which allows to treat them
the same
- fixed kbuild errors

Changes since v1:
- Recalculate mmap_base instead of using max possible virtual address
for compat/native syscall. That will make policy for allocation the
same in 32-bit binaries and in 32-bit syscalls in 64-bit binaries.
I need this because sys_mmap() in restored 32-bit process shouldn't
hit the stack area.
- Fixed mmap() with MAP_32BIT flag in the same usecases
- used in_compat_syscall() helper rather TS_COMPAT check (Andy noticed)
- introduced find_top() helper as suggested by Andy to simplify code
- fixed test error-handeling: it checked the result of sys_mmap() with
MMAP_FAILED, which is not correct, as it calls raw syscall - now
checks return value to be aligned to PAGE_SIZE.

Dmitry Safonov (5):
x86/mm: introduce arch_rnd() to compute 32/64 mmap rnd
x86/mm: add task_size parameter to mmap_base()
x86/mm: introduce mmap_compat_base for 32-bit mmap()
x86/mm: check in_compat_syscall() instead TIF_ADDR32 for
mmap(MAP_32BIT)
selftests/x86: add test for 32-bit mmap() return addr
