Increase the variability of the process stack on 64bit architectures 8MB is not really very random, use 1GB (or more with larger page sizes) instead. Also use the low bits of the random generator output now instead of throwing them away. Only enabled on x86-64 right now. Other architectures need to add a suitable STACK_RND_MASK Cc: mingo@elte.hu Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen fs/binfmt_elf.c | 13 +++++++++---- include/asm-x86_64/elf.h | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) Index: linux/fs/binfmt_elf.c =================================================================== --- linux.orig/fs/binfmt_elf.c +++ linux/fs/binfmt_elf.c @@ -500,17 +500,22 @@ out: #define INTERPRETER_AOUT 1 #define INTERPRETER_ELF 2 +#ifndef STACK_RND_MASK +#define STACK_RND_MASK 0x7ff /* with 4K pages 8MB of VA */ +#endif static unsigned long randomize_stack_top(unsigned long stack_top) { unsigned int random_variable = 0; - if (current->flags & PF_RANDOMIZE) - random_variable = get_random_int() % (8*1024*1024); + if (current->flags & PF_RANDOMIZE) { + random_variable = get_random_int() & STACK_RND_MASK; + random_variable <<= PAGE_SHIFT; + } #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP - return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top + random_variable); + return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) + random_variable; #else - return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top - random_variable); + return PAGE_ALIGN(stack_top) - random_variable; #endif } Index: linux/include/asm-x86_64/elf.h =================================================================== --- linux.orig/include/asm-x86_64/elf.h +++ linux/include/asm-x86_64/elf.h @@ -8,6 +8,7 @@ #include #include #include +#include /* x86-64 relocation types */ #define R_X86_64_NONE 0 /* No reloc */ @@ -157,6 +158,9 @@ extern int dump_task_fpu (struct task_st #define ELF_CORE_COPY_TASK_REGS(tsk, elf_regs) dump_task_regs(tsk, elf_regs) #define ELF_CORE_COPY_FPREGS(tsk, elf_fpregs) dump_task_fpu(tsk, elf_fpregs) +/* 1GB for 64bit, 8MB for 32bit */ +#define STACK_RND_MASK (is_compat_task() ? 0x7ff : 0x3fffff) + #endif #endif
