    elf: don't use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for elf interpreter mappings · 9b2f72cc
    Chen Jingwen authored
    In commit b212921b ("elf: don't use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for elf
    executable mappings") we still leave MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in place for
    load_elf_interp.
    
    Unfortunately, this will cause kernel to fail to start with:
    
        1 (init): Uhuuh, elf segment at 00003ffff7ffd000 requested but the memory is mapped already
        Failed to execute /init (error -17)
    
    The reason is that the elf interpreter (ld.so) has overlapping segments.
    
      readelf -l ld-2.31.so

    The reason for this problem is the same as described in commit
    ad55eac7 ("elf: enforce MAP_FIXED on overlaying elf segments").
    
    Not only executable binaries, elf interpreters (e.g. ld.so) can have
    overlapping elf segments, so we better drop MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE and go
    back to MAP_FIXED in load_elf_interp.
