[PATCH 1/2] mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_SAFE

[Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org>]

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>

MAP_FIXED is used quite often to enforce mapping at the particular
range. The main problem of this flag is, however, that it is inherently
dangerous because it unmaps existing mappings covered by the requested
range. This can cause silent memory corruptions. Some of them even with
serious security implications. While the current semantic might be
really desiderable in many cases there are others which would want to
enforce the given range but rather see a failure than a silent memory
corruption on a clashing range. Please note that there is no guarantee
that a given range is obeyed by the mmap even when it is free - e.g.
arch specific code is allowed to apply an alignment.

Introduce a new MAP_FIXED_SAFE flag for mmap to achieve this behavior.
It has the same semantic as MAP_FIXED wrt. the given address request
with a single exception that it fails with EEXIST if the requested
address is already covered by an existing mapping. We still do rely on
get_unmaped_area to handle all the arch specific MAP_FIXED treatment and
check for a conflicting vma after it returns.

The flag is introduced as a completely new one rather than a MAP_FIXED
extension because of the backward compatibility. We really want a
never-clobber semantic even on older kernels which do not recognize
the flag. Unfortunately mmap sucks wrt. flags evaluation because we do
not EINVAL on unknown flags. On those kernels we would simply use the
traditional hint based semantic so the caller can still get a different
address (which sucks) but at least not silently corrupt an existing
mapping. I do not see a good way around that.

Changes since v1
- define MAP_FIXED_SAFE in asm-generic/mman-common.h as per Michael
  Ellerman because all architecture which use this header can share
  the same value. This will leave us with only 4 arches which need
  special handling.

[fail on clashing range with EEXIST as per Florian Weimer]
[set MAP_FIXED before round_hint_to_min as per Khalid Aziz]
