Subject: [PATCH] x86/vdso: Move vDSO to mmap region
From: Daniel Micay <danielmicay@...il.com>
The vDSO (and its initial randomization) was introduced in commit
2aae950b21e4 ("x86_64: Add vDSO for x86-64 with gettimeofday/clock_gettime/getcpu"),
but had very low entropy. The entropy was improved in commit
394f56fe4801 ("x86_64, vdso: Fix the vdso address randomization algorithm"),
but there is still improvement to be made.
On principle there should not be executable code at a low entropy offset
from the stack, since the stack and executable code having separate
randomization is part of what makes ASLR stronger.
Remove the only executable code near the stack region and give the vDSO
the same randomized base as other mmap mappings including the linker
and other shared objects. This results in higher entropy being provided
and there's little to no advantage in separating this from the existing
executable code there. This is already how other architectures like
arm64 handle the vDSO.
As an side, while it's sensible for userspace to reserve the initial
mmap base as a region for executable code with a random gap for other
mmap allocations, along with providing randomization within that region,
there isn't much the kernel can do to help due to how dynamic linkers
load the shared objects.
This was extracted from the PaX RANDMMAP feature.
