This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled parisc,metag: Fix crashes due to stack randomization on stack-grows-upwards architectures to the linux-3.19.y-queue branch of the 3.19.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git/log/?h=linux-3.19.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.19.8-ckt2. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.19.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 264f3887a1df6bf17f366be430441c9b8728dd89 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Date: Mon, 11 May 2015 22:01:27 +0200 Subject: parisc,metag: Fix crashes due to stack randomization on stack-grows-upwards architectures commit d045c77c1a69703143a36169c224429c48b9eecd upstream. On architectures where the stack grows upwards (CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP=y, currently parisc and metag only) stack randomization sometimes leads to crashes when the stack ulimit is set to lower values than STACK_RND_MASK (which is 8 MB by default if not defined in arch-specific headers). The problem is, that when the stack vm_area_struct is set up in fs/exec.c, the additional space needed for the stack randomization (as defined by the value of STACK_RND_MASK) was not taken into account yet and as such, when the stack randomization code added a random offset to the stack start, the stack effectively got smaller than what the user defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK) which then sometimes leads to out-of-stack situations and crashes. This patch fixes it by adding the maximum possible amount of memory (based on STACK_RND_MASK) which theoretically could be added by the stack randomization code to the initial stack size. That way, the user-defined stack size is always guaranteed to be at minimum what is defined via rlimit_max(RLIMIT_STACK). This bug is currently not visible on the metag architecture, because on metag STACK_RND_MASK is defined to 0 which effectively disables stack randomization. The changes to fs/exec.c are inside an "#ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP" section, so it does not affect other platformws beside those where the stack grows upwards (parisc and metag).
