Subject: [PATCH -mm 1/2] ELF: make BAD_ADDR() unlikely
Date: Sun, 15 Dec 2019 15:43:55 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191215124355.GA21124@avx2> (raw)
If some mapping goes past TASK_SIZE it will be rejected by kernel
which means no such userspace binaries exist.
Mark every such check as unlikely.
