[PATCH v5 1/4] elf: Allow architectures to parse properties on the main executable

Mark Brown broonie at kernel.org
Mon Jul 19 09:45:33 PDT 2021


Currently the ELF code only attempts to parse properties on the image
that will start execution, either the interpreter or for statically linked
executables the main executable. The expectation is that any property
handling for the main executable will be done by the interpreter. This is
a bit inconsistent since we do map the executable and is causing problems
for the arm64 BTI support when used in conjunction with systemd's use of
seccomp to implement MemoryDenyWriteExecute which stops the dynamic linker
adjusting the permissions of executable segments.

Allow architectures to handle properties for both the dynamic linker and
main executable, adjusting arch_parse_elf_properties() to have a new
flag is_interp flag as with arch_elf_adjust_prot() and calling it for
both the main executable and any intepreter.

The user of this code, arm64, is adapted to ensure that there is no
functional change.
