Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Fix mmap_base entropy for >31 bits.
Date: Thu,  4 Feb 2016 14:06:29 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1454623591-17951-1-git-send-email-dcashman@android.com> (raw)

Upstream commit: d07e22597d1d355829b7b18ac19afa912cf758d1 added the
ability to choose from a range of values to use for entropy count in
generating the random offset to the mmap_base address.  The
maximum value on this range was set to 32 bits for 64-bit x86 systems,
but this value could be increased further, requiring more than the 32
bits of randomness provided by get_random_int(), as is already possible
for arm64. Add a new function: get_random_long() which more naturally
fits with the mmap usage of get_random_int() but operates exactly the
same as get_random_int().

Also, fix the shifting constant in mmap_rnd() to be an unsigned long so
that values greater than 31 bits generate an appropriate mask without
overflow.  This is especially important on x86, as its shift instruction
uses a 5-bit mask for the shift operand, which meant that any value for
mmap_rnd_bits over 31 acts as a no-op and effectively disables mmap_base
randomization.

Finally, replace calls to get_random_int() with get_random_long() where
appropriate.
