To address the "offset2lib" ASLR weakness[1], this separates ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR, as already done on s390. The architectures that are already randomizing mmap (arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, and x86), have their various forms of arch_mmap_rnd() made available via the new CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE. For these architectures, arch_randomize_brk() is collapsed as well. This is an alternative to the solutions in: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/2/23/442 Thanks! -Kees [1] http://cybersecurity.upv.es/attacks/offset2lib/offset2lib.html --- v2: - verbosified the commit logs, especially 4/5 (akpm) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
