From 21ff821630c0e64f5d2fab96ced72000d77fa90b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Howells Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 04:44:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] NOMMU: Fix execution off of ramfs with mmap() Fix execution through the FDPIC binfmt of programs stored on ramfs by preventing the ramfs mmap() returning successfully on a private mapping of a ramfs file. This causes NOMMU mmap to make a copy of the mapped portion of the file and map that instead. This could be improved by granting direct mapping access to read-only private mappings for which the data is stored on a contiguous run of pages. However, this is only likely to be the case if the file was extended with truncate before being written. ramfs is left to map the file directly for shared mappings so that SYSV IPC and POSIX shared memory both still work.
