Subject: [PATCH 3.18 05/27] ARC: mm: allow mprotect to make stack mappings executable
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2018 12:26:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180727102649.240963789@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180727102649.049641021@linuxfoundation.org>
3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>
commit 93312b6da4df31e4102ce5420e6217135a16c7ea upstream.
mprotect(EXEC) was failing for stack mappings as default vm flags was
missing MAYEXEC.
This was triggered by glibc test suite nptl/tst-execstack testcase
What is surprising is that despite running LTP for years on, we didn't
catch this issue as it lacks a directed test case.
gcc dejagnu tests with nested functions also requiring exec stack work
fine though because they rely on the GNU_STACK segment spit out by
compiler and handled in kernel elf loader.
This glibc case is different as the stack is non exec to begin with and
a dlopen of shared lib with GNU_STACK segment triggers the exec stack
proceedings using a mprotect(PROT_EXEC) which was broken.
