Subject: [PATCH] linux-user: Ensure mmap_min_addr is non-zero
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2020 14:23:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200724212314.545877-1-richard.henderson@linaro.org> (raw)
When the chroot does not have /proc mounted, we can read neither
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr nor /proc/sys/maps.
The enforcement of mmap_min_addr in the host kernel is done by
the security module, and so does not apply to processes owned
by root. Which leads pgd_find_hole_fallback to succeed in probing
a reservation at address 0. Which confuses pgb_reserved_va to
believe that guest_base has not actually been initialized.
We don't actually want NULL addresses to become accessible, so
make sure that mmap_min_addr is initialized with a non-zero value.
