We are early in the ELF loading. If we are mapping over an existing mapping then we are effectivelly corrupting it. In other words exactly what this patch tries to prevent. I fail to see what would be a relevant anon mapping this early and why it would be colliding with elf segements. > Would it be > helpful to trap all the mmap() requests from any of the binaries > and see where we might have created that anon mapping ? Yeah, that is exactly what I was suggesting.
