Subject: please revert backport of 44c76825d6eefee9eb7ce06c38e1a6632ac7eb7d

Message-ID: <202411210628.ECF1B494D7@keescook> (raw)

Hi stable tree maintainers,

Please revert the backports of

44c76825d6ee ("x86: Increase brk randomness entropy for 64-bit systems")

namely:

5.4:  03475167fda50b8511ef620a27409b08365882e1
5.10: 25d31baf922c1ee987efd6fcc9c7d4ab539c66b4
5.15: 06cb3463aa58906cfff72877eb7f50cb26e9ca93
6.1:  b0cde867b80a5e81fcbc0383e138f5845f2005ee
6.6:  1a45994fb218d93dec48a3a86f68283db61e0936

There seems to be a bad interaction between this change and older
PIE-built qemu-user-static (for aarch64) binaries[1]. Investigation
continues to see if this will need to be reverted from 6.6, 6.11,
and mainline. But for now, it's clearly a problem for older kernels with
older qemu.

Thanks!

-Kees
