From: Rik van Riel Date: Wed, 6 Sep 2017 23:25:11 +0000 (-0700) Subject: x86,mpx: make mpx depend on x86-64 to free up VMA flag X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=df3735c5b40f;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git x86,mpx: make mpx depend on x86-64 to free up VMA flag Patch series "mm,fork,security: introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK", v4. If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get zeroes. The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty. If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in the child after fork. Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs. The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork. Examples of this would be: - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid check, which is too slow without a PID cache) - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification) - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork) - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork) The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in every child process are pretty obvious. However, due to libraries having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork. A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called. It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically. The patchset also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior MADV_WIPEONFORK. This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO: https://man.openbsd.org/minherit.2 This patch (of 2): MPX only seems to be available on 64 bit CPUs, starting with Skylake and Goldmont. Move VM_MPX into the 64 bit only portion of vma->vm_flags, in order to free up a VMA flag.
