From 95236ae76bf8c5a71bcbb90a0c46a564613831d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2020 12:31:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in brk()/mmap()/mremap() commit dcde237319e626d1ec3c9d8b7613032f0fd4663a upstream. Currently the arm64 kernel ignores the top address byte passed to brk(), mmap() and mremap(). When the user is not aware of the 56-bit address limit or relies on the kernel to return an error, untagging such pointers has the potential to create address aliases in user-space. Passing a tagged address to munmap(), madvise() is permitted since the tagged pointer is expected to be inside an existing mapping. The current behaviour breaks the existing glibc malloc() implementation which relies on brk() with an address beyond 56-bit to be rejected by the kernel. Remove untagging in the above functions by partially reverting commit ce18d171cb73 ("mm: untag user pointers in mmap/munmap/mremap/brk"). In addition, update the arm64 tagged-address-abi.rst document accordingly.
