powerpc: do not make the entire heap executable
On 32-bit powerpc the ELF PLT sections of binaries (built with --bss-plt, or with a toolchain which defaults to it) look like this: [17] .sbss NOBITS 0002aff8 01aff8 000014 00 WA 0 0 4 [18] .plt NOBITS 0002b00c 01aff8 000084 00 WAX 0 0 4 [19] .bss NOBITS 0002b090 01aff8 0000a4 00 WA 0 0 4 Which results in an ELF load header: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align LOAD 0x019c70 0x00029c70 0x00029c70 0x01388 0x014c4 RWE 0x10000 This is all correct, the load region containing the PLT is marked as executable. Note that the PLT starts at 0002b00c but the file mapping ends at 0002aff8, so the PLT falls in the 0 fill section described by the load header, and after a page boundary. Unfortunately the generic ELF loader ignores the X bit in the load headers when it creates the 0 filled non-file backed mappings. It assumes all of these mappings are RW BSS sections, which is not the case for PPC. gcc/ld has an option (--secure-plt) to not do this, this is said to incur a small performance penalty. Currently, to support 32-bit binaries with PLT in BSS kernel maps *entire brk area* with executable rights for all binaries, even --secure-plt ones. Stop doing that. Teach the ELF loader to check the X bit in the relevant load header and create 0 filled anonymous mappings that are executable if the load header requests that. Test program showing the difference in /proc/$PID/maps: int main() { char buf[16*1024]; char *p = malloc(123); /* make "[heap]" mapping appear */ int fd = open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY); int len = read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)); write(1, buf, len); printf("%p\n", p); return 0; } Compiled using: gcc -mbss-plt -m32 -Os test.c -otest Unpatched ppc64 kernel: 00100000-00120000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 0fe10000-0ffd0000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 0ffd0000-0ffe0000 r--p 001b0000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 0ffe0000-0fff0000 rw-p 001c0000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10010000-10020000 r--p 00000000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10020000-10030000 rw-p 00010000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10690000-106c0000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] f7f70000-f7fa0000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so f7fa0000-f7fb0000 r--p 00020000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so f7fb0000-f7fc0000 rw-p 00030000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so ffa90000-ffac0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 0x10690008 Patched ppc64 kernel: 00100000-00120000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 0fe10000-0ffd0000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 0ffd0000-0ffe0000 r--p 001b0000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 0ffe0000-0fff0000 rw-p 001c0000 fd:00 67898094 /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so 10000000-10010000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10010000-10020000 r--p 00000000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10020000-10030000 rw-p 00010000 fd:00 100674505 /home/user/test 10180000-101b0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] ^^^^ this has changed f7c60000-f7c90000 r-xp 00000000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so f7c90000-f7ca0000 r--p 00020000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so f7ca0000-f7cb0000 rw-p 00030000 fd:00 67898089 /usr/lib/ld-2.17.so ff860000-ff890000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 0x10180008 The patch was originally posted in 2012 by Jason Gunthorpe and apparently ignored: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/30/138 Lightly run-tested.
