The patch titled Subject: arm64, mm: make randomization selected by generic topdown mmap layout has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is arm64-mm-make-randomization-selected-by-generic-topdown-mmap-layout.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/arm64-mm-make-randomization-selected-by-generic-topdown-mmap-layout.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/arm64-mm-make-randomization-selected-by-generic-topdown-mmap-layout.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexandre Ghiti <alex@xxxxxxxx> Subject: arm64, mm: make randomization selected by generic topdown mmap layout This commits selects ARCH_HAS_ELF_RANDOMIZE when an arch uses the generic topdown mmap layout functions so that this security feature is on by default. Note that this commit also removes the possibility for arm64 to have elf randomization and no MMU: without MMU, the security added by randomization is worth nothing.
