binfmt_elf: Avoid total_mapping_size for ET_EXEC
Partially revert commit 5f501d555653 ("binfmt_elf: reintroduce using MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE"), which applied the ET_DYN "total_mapping_size" logic also to ET_EXEC. At least ia64 has ET_EXEC PT_LOAD segments that are not virtual-address contiguous (but _are_ file-offset contiguous). This would result in a giant mapping attempting to cover the entire span, including the virtual address range hole, and well beyond the size of the ELF file itself, causing the kernel to refuse to load it. For example: $ readelf -lW /usr/bin/gcc ... Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz ... ... LOAD 0x000000 0x4000000000000000 0x4000000000000000 0x00b5a0 0x00b5a0 ... LOAD 0x00b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x0005ac 0x000710 ... ... ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ File offset range : 0x000000-0x00bb4c 0x00bb4c bytes Virtual address range : 0x4000000000000000-0x600000000000bcb0 0x200000000000bcb0 bytes Remove the total_mapping_size logic for ET_EXEC, which reduces the ET_EXEC MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE coverage to only the first PT_LOAD (better than nothing), and retains it for ET_DYN. Ironically, this is the reverse of the problem that originally caused problems with MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE: overlapping PT_LOAD segments. Future work could restore full coverage if load_elf_binary() were to perform mappings in a separate phase from the loading (where it could resolve both overlaps and holes).
