commit ea7e0480a4b695d0aa6b3fa99bd658a003122113 upstream.
When using the legacy mmap layout, for example triggered using ulimit -s unlimited, get_unmapped_area() fills memory from bottom to top starting from a fairly low address near TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE.
This placement is suboptimal if the user application wishes to allocate large amounts of heap memory using the brk syscall. With the VDSO being located low in the user's virtual address space, the amount of space available for access using brk is limited much more than it was prior to the introduction of the VDSO.
For example:
# ulimit -s unlimited; cat /proc/self/maps 00400000-004ec000 r-xp 00000000 08:00 71436 /usr/bin/coreutils 004fc000-004fd000 rwxp 000ec000 08:00 71436 /usr/bin/coreutils 004fd000-0050f000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 00cc3000-00ce4000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] 2ab96000-2ab98000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar] 2ab98000-2ab99000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 2ab99000-2ab9d000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 ...
Resolve this by adjusting STACK_TOP to reserve space for the VDSO & providing an address hint to get_unmapped_area() causing it to use this space even when using the legacy mmap layout.
We reserve enough space for the VDSO, plus 1MB or 256MB for 32 bit & 64 bit systems respectively within which we randomize the VDSO base address. Previously this randomization was taken care of by the mmap base address randomization performed by arch_mmap_rnd(). The 1MB & 256MB sizes are somewhat arbitrary but chosen such that we have some randomization without taking up too much of the user's virtual address space, which is often in short supply for 32 bit systems.
With this the VDSO is always mapped at a high address, leaving lots of space for statically linked programs to make use of brk:
# ulimit -s unlimited; cat /proc/self/maps 00400000-004ec000 r-xp 00000000 08:00 71436 /usr/bin/coreutils 004fc000-004fd000 rwxp 000ec000 08:00 71436 /usr/bin/coreutils 004fd000-0050f000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 00c28000-00c49000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [heap] ... 7f67c000-7f69d000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] 7f7fc000-7f7fd000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 7fcf1000-7fcf3000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar] 7fcf3000-7fcf4000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
