Subject: mm: ensure get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr
From: Akira Takeuchi <takeuchi.akr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2afc745f3e3079ab16c826be4860da2529054dd2 upstream.
This patch fixes the problem that get_unmapped_area() can return illegal
address and result in failing mmap(2) etc.
In case that the address higher than PAGE_SIZE is set to
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, the address lower than mmap_min_addr can be
returned by get_unmapped_area(), even if you do not pass any virtual
address hint (i.e. the second argument).
This is because the current get_unmapped_area() code does not take into
account mmap_min_addr.
This leads to two actual problems as follows:
1. mmap(2) can fail with EPERM on the process without CAP_SYS_RAWIO,
although any illegal parameter is not passed.
2. The bottom-up search path after the top-down search might not work in
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown().
Note: The first and third chunk of my patch, which changes "len" check,
are for more precise check using mmap_min_addr, and not for solving the
above problem.
[How to reproduce]
--- test.c -------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/errno.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
void *ret = NULL, *last_map;
size_t pagesize = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
do {
last_map = ret;
ret = mmap(0, pagesize, PROT_NONE,
MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
// printf("ret=%p\n", ret);
} while (ret != MAP_FAILED);
if (errno != ENOMEM) {
printf("ERR: unexpected errno: %d (last map=%p)\n",
errno, last_map);
}
return 0;
}
---------------------------------------------------------------
$ gcc -m32 -o test test.c
$ sudo sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=65536
vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536
$ ./test (run as non-priviledge user)
ERR: unexpected errno: 1 (last map=0x10000)
