This achieves two things:
- Programs can now intentionally perform arbitrary syscalls by calling
syscall(). This allows us to work on things like syscall fuzzing.
- It restricts the ability of userspace to make syscalls to a single
4KB page of code. In order to call the kernel directly, an attacker
must now locate this page and call through it.
Also, before calling the main program entry function, inform the kernel
that no more syscall regions can be registered.
This effectively bans syscalls from everywhere except LibC and
LibPthread. Pretty neat! :^)
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.
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.
