    elf: enforce MAP_FIXED on overlaying elf segments · ad55eac7
    Michal Hocko authored
    Anshuman has reported that with "fs, elf: drop MAP_FIXED usage from
    elf_map" applied, some ELF binaries in his environment fail to start
    with
    
     [   23.423642] 9148 (sed): Uhuuh, elf segment at 0000000010030000 requested but the memory is mapped already
     [   23.423706] requested [10030000, 10040000] mapped [10030000, 10040000] 100073 anon
    
    The reason is that the above binary has overlapping elf segments:
    
      LOAD           0x0000000000000000 0x0000000010000000 0x0000000010000000
                     0x0000000000013a8c 0x0000000000013a8c  R E    10000
      LOAD           0x000000000001fd40 0x000000001002fd40 0x000000001002fd40
                     0x00000000000002c0 0x00000000000005e8  RW     10000
      LOAD           0x0000000000020328 0x0000000010030328 0x0000000010030328
                     0x0000000000000384 0x00000000000094a0  RW     10000
    
    That binary has two RW LOAD segments, the first crosses a page border
    into the second
    
      0x1002fd40 (LOAD2-vaddr) + 0x5e8 (LOAD2-memlen) == 0x10030328 (LOAD3-vaddr)
    
    Handle this situation by enforcing MAP_FIXED when we establish a
    temporary brk VMA to handle overlapping segments.  All other mappings
    will still use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE.
