[PATCH RESEND 2/2] ARM: prctl: Reject PR_SET_MDWE on pre-ARMv6

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



On v5 and lower CPUs we can't provide MDWE protection, so ensure we
fail any attempt to enable it via prctl(PR_SET_MDWE).

Previously such an attempt would misleadingly succeed, leading to any
subsequent mmap(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) or execve() failing
unconditionally (the latter somewhat violently via
force_fatal_sig(SIGSEGV) due to READ_IMPLIES_EXEC).
