The p_align values in PT_LOAD were ignored for static PIE executables (i.e. ET_DYN without PT_INTERP). This is because there is no way to request a non-fixed mmap region with a specific alignment. ET_DYN with PT_INTERP uses a separate base address (ELF_ET_DYN_BASE) and binfmt_elf performs the ASLR itself, which means it can also apply alignment. For the mmap region, the address selection happens deep within the vm_mmap() implementation (when the requested address is 0).
The earlier attempt to implement this:
commit 9630f0d60fec ("fs/binfmt_elf: use PT_LOAD p_align values for static PIE") commit 925346c129da ("fs/binfmt_elf: fix PT_LOAD p_align values for loaders")
did not take into account the different base address origins, and were eventually reverted:
aeb7923733d1 ("revert "fs/binfmt_elf: use PT_LOAD p_align values for static PIE"")
In order to get the correct alignment from an mmap base, binfmt_elf must perform a 0-address load first, then tear down the mapping and perform alignment on the resulting address. Since this is slightly more overhead, only do this when it is needed (i.e. the alignment is not the default ELF alignment). This does, however, have the benefit of being able to use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE, to avoid potential collisions.
With this fixed, enable the static PIE self tests again.
