The dynamic loader will now mark RELRO segments read-only after
performing relocations. This is pretty cool!
Note that this only applies to main executables so far,.
RELRO support for shared libraries will require some reorganizing
of the dynamic loader.
For a data segment that starts at a non-zero offset into a 4KB page and
crosses a 4KB page boundary, we were failing to pad the VM allocation,
which would cause the memcpy() to fail.
Make sure we round the segment bases down, and segment ends up, and the
issue goes away.
Using the text segment for the VM reservation ran into trouble when
there was a discrepancy between the p_filesz and p_memsz.
Simplify this mechanism and avoid trouble by making the reservation
as a MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_NORESERVE throwaway mapping instead.
Fixes#5225.
load_from_image() becomes map() and link(). This allows us to map
an object before mapping its dependencies.
This solves an issue where fixed-position executables (like GCC)
would clash with the ASLR placement of their own shared libraries.
Validation was happening in two steps, some in the constructor, and then
some later on, in load_from_image().
This made no sense so just move all the validation to the constructor.
Refactor DynamicLoader construction with a try_create() helper so that
we can call mmap() before making a loader. This way the loader doesn't
need to have an "mmap failed" state.
This patch also takes care of determining the ELF file size in
try_create() instead of expecting callers to provide it.
Previously regions were stored in a vector and then a pointer to
regions in this vector were taken and stored. The problem is the vector
were still appended after pointers were taken, if enough regions were
present the vector would grow so large that it needed a resize, this
cause his memory to moved and now the previous pointers are now
pointing to old memory we just freed.
Fixes#5160
To support upcoming W^X changes in the kernel, the dynamic loader needs
to be careful about the order in which permissions are added to shared
library text segments.
We now start by mapping text segments read-only (no-write, no-exec).
If relocations are needed, we make them writable, and then finally,
for all text segments, we finish by making them read+exec.
Use mmap() with the new MAP_RANDOMIZED flag to load shared libraries at
random addresses in each process.
To avoid address space collisions, we start by doing a large chunk mmap
that covers enough VM for both text and data, then we unmap and remap
the data segment separately, once we know everything will fit.
This is pretty cool! :^)
