It chooses to randomize based on the current personality for ASLR. Currently, allocations are done sequentially within unmapped address space gaps. This may happen top down or bottom up depending on scheme. For instance these mmap calls produce contiguous mappings: int size = getpagesize(); mmap(NULL, size, flags, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40026000 mmap(NULL, size, flags, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40027000 Note no gap between. After patches: int size = getpagesize(); mmap(NULL, size, flags, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x400b4000 mmap(NULL, size, flags, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40055000 Note gap between. Using the test program mentioned here, that allocates fixed sized blocks till exhaustion: https://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2011-05/msg00252.html, no difference was noticed in the number of allocations. Most varied from run to run, but were always within a few allocations of one another between patched and un-patched runs. Performance Measurements: Using strace with -T option and filtering for mmap on the program ls shows a slowdown of approximate 3.7% Signed-off-by: William Roberts --- mm/mmap.c | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+) diff --git a/mm/mmap.c b/mm/mmap.c index de2c176..7891272 100644 --- a/mm/mmap.c +++ b/mm/mmap.c @@ -43,6 +43,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include #include #include @@ -1582,6 +1583,24 @@ unacct_error: return error; } +/* + * Generate a random address within a range.
