commit e1fbbd073137a9d63279f6bf363151a938347640 upstream.
Keno Fischer reported that when a binray loaded via ld-linux-x the
prctl(PR_SET_MM_MAP) doesn't allow to setup brk value because it lays
before mm:end_data.
For example a test program shows
| # ~/t
|
| start_code 401000
| end_code 401a15
| start_stack 7ffce4577dd0
| start_data 403e10
| end_data 40408c
| start_brk b5b000
| sbrk(0) b5b000
and when executed via ld-linux
| # /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 ~/t
|
| start_code 7fc25b0a4000
| end_code 7fc25b0c4524
| start_stack 7fffcc6b2400
| start_data 7fc25b0ce4c0
| end_data 7fc25b0cff98
| start_brk 55555710c000
| sbrk(0) 55555710c000
This of course prevent criu from restoring such programs. Looking into
how kernel operates with brk/start_brk inside brk() syscall I don't see
any problem if we allow to setup brk/start_brk without checking for
end_data. Even if someone pass some weird address here on a purpose then
the worst possible result will be an unexpected unmapping of existing vma
(own vma, since prctl works with the callers memory) but test for
RLIMIT_DATA is still valid and a user won't be able to gain more memory in
case of expanding VMAs via new values shipped with prctl call.

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.
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.
