Subject: [PATCH v7] 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.

The patch was originally posted in 2012 by Jason Gunthorpe
and apparently ignored:

Lightly run-tested.

Changes since v6:
* rebased to current Linus tree
* sending to akpm

Changes since v5:
* made do_brk_flags() error out if any bits other than VM_EXEC are set.
  (Kees Cook: "With this, I'd be happy to Ack.")
  See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/661595/

Changes since v4:
* if (current->personality & READ_IMPLIES_EXEC), still use VM_EXEC
  for 32-bit executables.

Changes since v3:
* typo fix in commit message
* rebased to current Linus tree

Changes since v2:
* moved capability to map with VM_EXEC into vm_brk_flags()

Changes since v1:
* wrapped lines to not exceed 79 chars
* improved comment
* expanded CC list
