Subject: Security: round mmap hint address above mmap_min_addr
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.24-rc5~63^2~1
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7cd94146cd504016315608e297219f9fb7b1413b;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-3.10.git

Security: round mmap hint address above mmap_min_addr

If mmap_min_addr is set and a process attempts to mmap (not fixed) with a
non-null hint address less than mmap_min_addr the mapping will fail the
security checks.  Since this is just a hint address this patch will round
such a hint address above mmap_min_addr.

gcj was found to try to be very frugal with vm usage and give hint addresses
in the 8k-32k range.  Without this patch all such programs failed and with
the patch they happily get a higher address.

This patch is wrappad in CONFIG_SECURITY since mmap_min_addr doesn't exist
without it and there would be no security check possible no matter what.  So
we should not bother compiling in this rounding if it is just a waste of
time.
