Subject: [PATCH 5.16 v2] binfmt_elf: Avoid total_mapping_size for ET_EXEC

Partially revert commit 5f501d555653 ("binfmt_elf: reintroduce using
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE").

At least ia64 has ET_EXEC PT_LOAD segments that are not virtual-address
contiguous (but _are_ file-offset contiguous). This would result in
giant mapping attempts to cover the entire span, including the virtual
address range hole. Disable total_mapping_size for ET_EXEC, which
reduces the MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE coverage to only the first PT_LOAD:

$ readelf -lW /usr/bin/gcc
...
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz ...
...
LOAD 0x000000 0x4000000000000000 0x4000000000000000 0x00b5a0 0x00b5a0 ...
LOAD 0x00b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x0005ac 0x000710 ...
...
^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^

File offset range : 0x000000-0x00bb4c
0x00bb4c bytes

Virtual address range : 0x4000000000000000-0x600000000000bcb0
0x200000000000bcb0 bytes

Ironically, this is the reverse of the problem that originally caused
problems with ET_EXEC and MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE: overlaps. This problem is
with holes. Future work could restore full coverage if load_elf_binary()
were to perform mappings in a separate phase from the loading (where
it could resolve both overlaps and holes).

This does the trick! Thank you so much!!

Excellent; thank you for testing! I'll send this to Linus shortly.

I can confirm that this patch fixes the issue for me.
