[ Upstream commit 11854fe263eb1b9a8efa33b0c087add7719ea9b4 ] In commitbbdc6076d2("binfmt_elf: move brk out of mmap when doing direct loader exec"), the brk was moved out of the mmap region when loading static PIE binaries (ET_DYN without INTERP). The common case for these binaries was testing new ELF loaders, so the brk needed to be away from mmap to avoid colliding with stack, future mmaps (of the loader-loaded binary), etc. But this was only done when ASLR was enabled, in an attempt to minimize changes to memory layouts. After adding support to respect alignment requirements for static PIE binaries in commit 3545deff0ec7 ("binfmt_elf: Honor PT_LOAD alignment for static PIE"), it became possible to have a large gap after the final PT_LOAD segment and the top of the mmap region. This means that future mmap allocations might go after the last PT_LOAD segment (where brk might be if ASLR was disabled) instead of before them (where they traditionally ended up). On arm64, running with ASLR disabled, Ubuntu 22.04's "ldconfig" binary, a static PIE, has alignment requirements that leaves a gap large enough after the last PT_LOAD segment to fit the vdso and vvar, but still leave enough space for the brk (which immediately follows the last PT_LOAD segment) to be allocated by the binary. fffff7f20000-fffff7fde000 r-xp 00000000 fe:02 8110426 /sbin/ldconfig.real fffff7fee000-fffff7ff5000 rw-p 000be000 fe:02 8110426 /sbin/ldconfig.real fffff7ff5000-fffff7ffa000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 ***[brk will go here at fffff7ffa000]*** fffff7ffc000-fffff7ffe000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar] fffff7ffe000-fffff8000000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] fffffffdf000-1000000000000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] After commit 0b3bc3354eb9 ("arm64: vdso: Switch to generic storage implementation"), the arm64 vvar grew slightly, and suddenly the brk collided with the allocation. fffff7f20000-fffff7fde000 r-xp 00000000 fe:02 8110426 /sbin/ldconfig.real fffff7fee000-fffff7ff5000 rw-p 000be000 fe:02 8110426 /sbin/ldconfig.real fffff7ff5000-fffff7ffa000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 ***[oops, no room any more, vvar is at fffff7ffa000!]*** fffff7ffa000-fffff7ffe000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar] fffff7ffe000-fffff8000000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] fffffffdf000-1000000000000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] The solution is to unconditionally move the brk out of the mmap region for static PIE binaries. Whether ASLR is enabled or not does not change if there may be future mmap allocation collisions with a growing brk region. Update memory layout comments (with kernel-doc headings), consolidate the setting of mm->brk to later (it isn't needed early), move static PIE brk out of mmap unconditionally, and make sure brk(2) knows to base brk position off of mm->start_brk not mm->end_data no matter what the cause of moving it is (via current->brk_randomized). For the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK case, though, leave the logic unchanged, as we can never safely move the brk. These systems, however, are not using specially aligned static PIE binaries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
