[PATCH 3.5 68/96] mm: ensure get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr

From: Luis Henriques
Date: Mon Jan 13 2014 - 09:30:26 EST


3.5.7.29 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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)

[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.]
