The patch titled
     Subject: mm: revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-revert-x86_64-and-arm64-elf_et_dyn_base-base.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes

Moving the x86_64 and arm64 PIE base from 0x555555554000 to 0x000100000000
broke AddressSanitizer.  This is a partial revert of:

  eab09532d400 ("binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE")
  02445990a96e ("arm64: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4GB / 4MB")

The AddressSanitizer tool has hard-coded expectations about where
executable mappings are loaded.  The motivation for changing the PIE base
in the above commits was to avoid the Stack-Clash CVEs that allowed
executable mappings to get too close to heap and stack.  This was mainly a
problem on 32-bit, but the 64-bit bases were moved too, in an effort to
proactively protect those systems (proofs of concept do exist that show
64-bit collisions, but other recent changes to fix stack accounting and
setuid behaviors will minimize the impact).

The new 32-bit PIE base is fine for ASan (since it matches the ET_EXEC
base), so only the 64-bit PIE base needs to be reverted to let x86 and
arm64 ASan binaries run again.  Future changes to the 64-bit PIE base on
these architectures can be made optional once a more dynamic method for
dealing with AddressSanitizer is found.  (e.g.  always loading PIE into
the mmap region for marked binaries.)
