From 6a9af90a3bcde217a1c053e135f5f43e5d5fafbd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2017 15:52:40 -0700 Subject: arm: move ELF_ET_DYN_BASE to 4MB Now that explicitly executed loaders are loaded in the mmap region, we have more freedom to decide where we position PIE binaries in the address space to avoid possible collisions with mmap or stack regions. 4MB is chosen here mainly to have parity with x86, where this is the traditional minimum load location, likely to avoid historically requiring a 4MB page table entry when only a portion of the first 4MB would be used (since the NULL address is avoided). For ARM the position could be 0x8000, the standard ET_EXEC load address, but that is needlessly close to the NULL address, and anyone running PIE on 32-bit ARM will have an MMU, so the tight mapping is not needed.
