From 44c76825d6eefee9eb7ce06c38e1a6632ac7eb7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2024 22:25:43 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] x86: Increase brk randomness entropy for 64-bit systems In commit c1d171a00294 ("x86: randomize brk"), arch_randomize_brk() was defined to use a 32MB range (13 bits of entropy), but was never increased when moving to 64-bit. The default arch_randomize_brk() uses 32MB for 32-bit tasks, and 1GB (18 bits of entropy) for 64-bit tasks. Update x86_64 to match the entropy used by arm64 and other 64-bit architectures.
