Commit Message

Richard Henderson July 24, 2020, 9:23 p.m. UTC
When the chroot does not have /proc mounted, we can read neither
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr nor /proc/sys/maps.

The enforcement of mmap_min_addr in the host kernel is done by
the security module, and so does not apply to processes owned
by root.  Which leads pgd_find_hole_fallback to succeed in probing
a reservation at address 0.  Which confuses pgb_reserved_va to
believe that guest_base has not actually been initialized.

We don't actually want NULL addresses to become accessible, so
make sure that mmap_min_addr is initialized with a non-zero value.

This fixes the problem for me, therefore:

Richard, do you want to add this fix in one of your branches PR?

In this case:
Acked-by: Laurent Vivier <laurent@vivier.eu>


Otherwise I can prepare a small one for linux-user, adding one or two
fixes...

Thanks,
Laurent

I don't have anything queued at the moment.  I thought I would be able to
convince Alex to add it to his misc queue, but he sent that this morning.
