From ce81bb256a224259ab686742a6284930cbe4f1fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Kennelly Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2020 20:12:32 -0700 Subject: fs/binfmt_elf: use PT_LOAD p_align values for suitable start address Patch series "Selecting Load Addresses According to p_align", v3. The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed, transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables. While specifying -z,max-page-size=0x200000 to the linker will generate suitably aligned segments for huge pages on x86_64, the executable needs to be loaded at a suitably aligned address as well. This alignment requires the binary's cooperation, as distinct segments need to be appropriately paddded to be eligible for THP. For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed load addresses/non-PIE binaries. This patch (of 2): The current ELF loading mechancism provides page-aligned mappings. This can lead to the program being loaded in a way unsuitable for file-backed, transparent huge pages when handling PIE executables. For binaries built with increased alignment, this limits the number of bits usable for ASLR, but provides some randomization over using fixed load addresses/non-PIE binaries. Tested by verifying program with -Wl,-z,max-page-size=0x200000 loading.
