commit2217b98262upstream. binfmt_flat loader uses the gap between text and data to store data segment pointers for the libraries. Even in the absence of shared libraries it stores at least one pointer to the executable's own data segment. Text and data can go back to back in the flat binary image and without offsetting data segment last few instructions in the text segment may get corrupted by the data segment pointer. Fix it by reverting commita2357223c5("binfmt_flat: don't offset the data start").

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.
