mm: ensure get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr
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) Signed-off-by: Akira Takeuchi <takeuchi.akr@jp.panasonic.com> Signed-off-by: Kiyoshi Owada <owada.kiyoshi@jp.panasonic.com> Reviewed-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> [bwh: Backported to 3.2: As we do not have vm_unmapped_area(), make arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() calculate the lower limit for the new area's end address and then compare addresses with this instead of with len. In the process, fix an off-by-one error which could result in returning 0 if mm->mmap_base == len.] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
