Subject: [PATCH] arm: fix integer overflow in ELF_ET_DYN_BASE
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2015 14:12:52 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1426849972-19606-1-git-send-email-a.ryabinin@samsung.com> (raw)

Usually ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is 2/3 of TASK_SIZE. With 3G/1G user/kernel
split this is not so, because 2*TASK_SIZE overflows 32 bits,
so the actual value of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE is:
	(2 * TASK_SIZE / 3) = 0x2a000000

When ASLR is disabled PIE binaries will load at ELF_ET_DYN_BASE address.
On 32bit platforms AddressSanitzer uses addresses [0x20000000 - 0x40000000]
for shadow memory [1]. So ASan doesn't work for PIE binaries when ASLR disabled
as it fails to map shadow memory.
Also after Kees's 'split ET_DYN ASLR from mmap ASLR' patchset PIE binaries
has a high chance of loading somewhere in between [0x2a000000 - 0x40000000]
even if ASLR enabled. This makes ASan with PIE absolutely incompatible.

Fix overflow by dividing TASK_SIZE prior to multiplying.
After this patch ELF_ET_DYN_BASE equals to (for CONFIG_VMSPLIT_3G=y):
	(TASK_SIZE / 3 * 2) = 0x7f555554
