Adding some more people to CC... what do people think about this
moving of the brk to ELF_ET_DYN_BASE in this corner-case? Anything
that worked before should still work (i.e. the ultimately-launched
binary already had the brk very far from its text, so this should be
no different from a COMPAT_BRK standpoint). The only risk I see here
is that if someone started to suddenly depend on the entire memory
space above the mmap region being available when launching binaries
via a direct loader execs... which seems highly unlikely, I'd hope:
this would mean a binary would not work when execed normally.
Kees' proposal addresses the issue for me. Anyone have concerns on this
proposed solution?
