[PATCH] x86_64: TASK_SIZE fixes for compatibility mode processes
Appended patch will setup compatibility mode TASK_SIZE properly. This will
fix atleast three known bugs that can be encountered while running
compatibility mode apps.
a) A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During
exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page. And instead of exec
failing (as it has addresses > TASK_SIZE), we were allowing it to
succeed previously.
b) With a 32bit app, hugetlb_get_unmapped_area/arch_get_unmapped_area
may return addresses beyond 32bits, ultimately causing corruption
because of wrap-around and resulting in SEGFAULT, instead of returning
ENOMEM.
c) 32bit app doing this below mmap will now fail.
mmap((void *)(0xFFFFE000UL), 0x10000UL, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_FIXED|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, 0, 0);
