It is much easier to figure out what is going on. But.. this will add the VM_SEALED flag on any 64bit architecture that enables the SEAL_SYSTEM_MAPPINGS config. That will happen by bots with random config builds. I don't know if they have test cases that specifically unmap the vmas you are sealing (ppc64 probably tries to unmap the vdso). I do know that I've had syzbot bugs that unmap _all_ vmas. I'm guessing you will get bot notification on these failures for any 64bit architecture. You may want to look into it to avoid such fuzzing failures, but we still need this to be tested somehow. > return __install_special_mapping(mm, addr, len, vm_flags, (void *)spec, > &special_mapping_vmops); > } > diff --git a/mm/mseal.c b/mm/mseal.c > index ece977bd21e1..0a9d1e9faa28 100644 > --- a/mm/mseal.c > +++ b/mm/mseal.c Thank you for moving this to mseal.c > @@ -7,6 +7,7 @@ > * Author: Jeff Xu <jeffxu@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > */ > > +#include <linux/fs_parser.h> > #include <linux/mempolicy.h> > #include <linux/mman.h> > #include <linux/mm.h> > @@ -266,3 +267,41 @@ SYSCALL_DEFINE3(mseal, unsigned long, start, size_t, len, unsigned long, > { > return do_mseal(start, len, flags); > } > + > +/* > + * Kernel cmdline overwrite for CONFIG_SEAL_SYSTEM_MAPPINGS overwrite or override?

You could also add a portion here about your override functionality on command line. "this can be disabled or enabled by..." I really think having something that can be found by searching for mseal is really desirable here. That is, make menuconfig, press / for search, type mseal -> find this feature. If this was MSEAL_SYSTEM_MAPPINGS, searching for seal or mseal would work and would serve to link the config option to the mseal document. Right now there is no information in the help that will allow it to be found by 'mseal'. There is also nothing in the documentation that states this exists, which you should probably update with this feature? Thanks, Liam
