powerpc: arch_mmap_rnd() uses hard-coded values, (23-PAGE_SHIFT) for
32-bit and (30-PAGE_SHIFT) for 64-bit, to generate the random offset
for the mmap base address.

This value represents a compromise between increased
ASLR effectiveness and avoiding address-space fragmentation.
Replace it with a Kconfig option, which is sensibly bounded, so that
platform developers may choose where to place this compromise.
Keep default values as new minimums.

This patch makes sure that now powerpc mmap arch_mmap_rnd() approach
is similar to other ARCHs like x86, arm64 and arm.

Thanks for looking at this, it's been on my TODO for a while.

I have a half completed version locally, but never got around to testing
it thoroughly.

This is what I have below, which is a bit neater I think because each
value is only there once (by defaulting to the COMPAT value).

My max values are different to yours, I don't really remember why I
chose those values, so we can argue about which is right.

+config ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS_MIN
+	# On 64-bit up to 1G of address space (2^30)
+	default 12 if 64BIT && PPC_256K_PAGES 	# 256K (2^18), = 30 - 18 = 12

+	default 16 if 64BIT && PPC_16K_PAGES  	# 16K  (2^14), = 30 - 14 = 16
+	default 18 if 64BIT			# 4K   (2^12), = 30 - 12 = 18
+	default ARCH_MMAP_RND_COMPAT_BITS_MIN
+
+config ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS_MAX
+	# On 64-bit up to 32T of address space (2^45)
+	default 27 if 64BIT && PPC_256K_PAGES   # 256K (2^18), = 45 - 18 = 27

+	default 31 if 64BIT && PPC_16K_PAGES    # 16K  (2^14), = 45 - 14 = 31
+	default 33 if 64BIT			# 4K   (2^12), = 45 - 12 = 33

+
+config ARCH_MMAP_RND_COMPAT_BITS_MIN
+	# Up to 8MB of address space (2^23)

I also have what I think is a better hunk for that:

 unsigned long arch_mmap_rnd(void)
 {
-	unsigned long rnd;
+	unsigned long shift, rnd;
 
-	/* 8MB for 32bit, 1GB for 64bit */
+	shift = mmap_rnd_bits;
+#ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT
 	if (is_32bit_task())
-		rnd = (unsigned long)get_random_int() % (1<<(23-PAGE_SHIFT));
-	else
-		rnd = (unsigned long)get_random_int() % (1<<(30-PAGE_SHIFT));
+		shift = mmap_rnd_compat_bits;
+#endif
+
+	rnd = (unsigned long)get_random_int() % (1 << shift);

But I'm just nit picking I guess :)

cheers

I thought it was 64T, TASK_SIZE_USER64 is 2^46?

Awesome! This looks good to me based on my earlier analysis.

No, actually the 'ARCH_MMAP_RND_COMPAT_BITS'  values can be changed
after boot using the '/proc/sys/vm/mmap_rnd_compat_bits' tunable:

The virtual address space is 64T. The comment is talking about how much
can be taking up by the randomisation factor.

I am not sure how you derived these values, but I am not sure there
should be differences between 64-BIT x86/ARM64 and PPC values for the
MAX values.

I am trying to reuse the existing hunk available for x86 MMAP randomization.
So I am not sure if we really need the hunk mentioned above.

I think we can get this applied to upstream unless someone sees a
breakage on their platform (I have tested this on PPC64 and PPC64LE
setups at my end, but there might be some aberrations on some custom
PPC platforms)

But your values *are* different to x86 and arm64.

And why would they be the same anyway? x86 has a 47 bit address space,
64-bit powerpc is 46 bits, and arm64 is configurable from 36 to 48 bits.

So your calculations above using VA_BITS = 48 should be using 46 bits.

But if you fixed that, your formula basically gives 1/16th of the
address space as the maximum range. Why is that the right amount?

x86 uses 1/8th, and arm64 uses a mixture of 1/8th and 1/32nd (though
those might be bugs).

My values were more liberal, giving up to half the address space for 32
& 64-bit. Maybe that's too generous, but my rationale was it's up to the
sysadmin to tweak the values and they get to keep the pieces if it
breaks.

I played with my values a bit and allowing 32T is a little bit nuts. It
means you can actually end up with the adjusted ET_DYN_BASE *above* 32T,
followed by the heap growing up, and the mmap base *below* 32T, growing
down. Which is kinda fun, but definitely breaks a lot of assumptions.

So limiting it to a max of 16T is probably more sensible.

Anyway late here, will think about it some more over the weekend.

I am not sure why would one want to use more than the practical limits
of 1/8th used by x86 - this causes additional burden of address space
fragmentation.

So we need to balance between the randomness increase and the address
space fragmentation.

A user is always free to tweak the maximum values via specific Kconfig
+ defconfig combinations for their platforms, but why have such large
max values as default for say a embedded PPC64 board which only
supports say 16GB of DDR.

A default max of 33bits for such platforms might be an overkill, while
it might be fine for servers which might have greater DDR
availability.
