[PATCH v1] Arm64: ASLR: fix text randomization

From: Arun Chandran
Date: Tue Oct 07 2014 - 08:41:18 EST


This is due to incorrect definition of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE. It
introduces randomization for text even if user does a "echo 0 >
/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space"

This can be tested using the code below

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv)
{
printf("main = %p\n", main);
return 0;
}

* compile it possition independently
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -fPIE -pie aslr.c -o aslr

* run it on the target

# ./aslr
main = 0x7f87138950
# ./aslr
main = 0x7f94a10950
# ./aslr
main = 0x7f94fee950
# ./aslr text
main = 0x7f8cb72950

# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# ./aslr text
main = 0x5555555950
# ./aslr
main = 0x5555555950
# ./aslr
main = 0x5555555950
# ./aslr
main = 0x5555555950
