Hi!

Where did you get that linker script?

FWIW, I catched this possible issue in review, and this was already
discussed (see my email and Eric's reply):
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAKbZUD3E2if8Sncy+M2YKncc_Zh08-86W6U5wR0ZMazShxbHHA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

This was my original testcase
(https://github.com/heatd/elf-bug-questionmark), which convinced the
loader to map .data over a cleared .bss. Your bug seems similar, but
does the inverse: maps .bss over .data.


I wrote the linker script myself from scratch.

Thank you for the link to the previous discussion. So assuming this
breakage was intended my question here is - doesn't this run afoul
of the "we do not break userspace" rule?
