From a3defbe5c337dbc6da911f8cc49ae3cc3b49b453 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Kosina Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2011 13:37:41 -0700 Subject: binfmt_elf: fix PIE execution with randomization disabled The case of address space randomization being disabled in runtime through randomize_va_space sysctl is not treated properly in load_elf_binary(), resulting in SIGKILL coming at exec() time for certain PIE-linked binaries in case the randomization has been disabled at runtime prior to calling exec(). Handle the randomize_va_space == 0 case the same way as if we were not supporting .text randomization at all. Based on original patch by H.J. Lu and Josh Boyer.
