[PATCH] elf: don't use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for elf interpreter mappings

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In commit b212921b13bd ("elf: don't use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for elf executable mappings")
we still leave MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in place for load_elf_interp.
Unfortunately, this will cause kernel to fail to start with

[    2.384321] 1 (init): Uhuuh, elf segment at 00003ffff7ffd000 requested but the memory is mapped already
[    2.386240] Failed to execute /init (error -17)

The reason is that the elf interpreter (ld.so) has overlapping segments.

readelf -l ld-2.31.so

The reason for this problem is the same as described in
commit ad55eac74f20 ("elf: enforce MAP_FIXED on overlaying elf segments").
Not only executable binaries, elf interpreters (e.g. ld.so) can have
overlapping elf segments, so we better drop MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE and go
back to MAP_FIXED in load_elf_interp.
