Michal Hocko 4ed2863951 fs, elf: drop MAP_FIXED usage from elf_map 
Both load_elf_interp and load_elf_binary rely on elf_map to map segments
on a controlled address and they use MAP_FIXED to enforce that.  This is
however dangerous thing prone to silent data corruption which can be
even exploitable.

Let's take CVE-2017-1000253 as an example.  At the time (before commit
eab09532d400: "binfmt_elf: use ELF_ET_DYN_BASE only for PIE")
ELF_ET_DYN_BASE was at TASK_SIZE / 3 * 2 which is not that far away from
the stack top on 32b (legacy) memory layout (only 1GB away).  Therefore
we could end up mapping over the existing stack with some luck.

The issue has been fixed since then (a87938b2e246: "fs/binfmt_elf.c: fix
bug in loading of PIE binaries"), ELF_ET_DYN_BASE moved moved much
further from the stack (eab09532d4 and later by c715b72c1ba4: "mm:
revert x86_64 and arm64 ELF_ET_DYN_BASE base changes") and excessive
stack consumption early during execve fully stopped by da029c11e6
("exec: Limit arg stack to at most 75% of _STK_LIM").  So we should be
safe and any attack should be impractical.  On the other hand this is
just too subtle assumption so it can break quite easily and hard to
spot.

I believe that the MAP_FIXED usage in load_elf_binary (et. al) is still
fundamentally dangerous.  Moreover it shouldn't be even needed.  We are
at the early process stage and so there shouldn't be unrelated mappings
(except for stack and loader) existing so mmap for a given address should
succeed even without MAP_FIXED.  Something is terribly wrong if this is
not the case and we should rather fail than silently corrupt the
underlying mapping.

Address this issue by changing MAP_FIXED to the newly added
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE.  This will mean that mmap will fail if there is an
existing mapping clashing with the requested one without clobbering it.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
