    x86/mm: Introduce mmap_compat_base() for 32-bit mmap() · 1b028f78
    Dmitry Safonov 提交于
    mmap() uses a base address, from which it starts to look for a free space
    for allocation.
    
    The base address is stored in mm->mmap_base, which is calculated during
    exec(). The address depends on task's size, set rlimit for stack, ASLR
    randomization. The base depends on the task size and the number of random
    bits which are different for 64-bit and 32bit applications.
    
    Due to the fact, that the base address is fixed, its mmap() from a compat
    (32bit) syscall issued by a 64bit task will return a address which is based
    on the 64bit base address and does not fit into the 32bit address space
    (4GB). The returned pointer is truncated to 32bit, which results in an
    invalid address.
    
    To solve store a seperate compat address base plus a compat legacy address
    base in mm_struct. These bases are calculated at exec() time and can be
    used later to address the 32bit compat mmap() issued by 64 bit
    applications.
    
    As a consequence of this change 32-bit applications issuing a 64-bit
    syscall (after doing a long jump) will get a 64-bit mapping now. Before
    this change 32-bit applications always got a 32bit mapping.
