Russell,

Would you consider taking these for 3.17?  I've been carrying the
sigpage placement randomization as part of the VDSO patch set but it
seems worthwhile on its own.  Using _install_special_mapping for the
VDSO and similar VMAs was recently suggested by Andy Lutomirski.

Nathan Lynch (2):
  ARM: use _install_special_mapping for sigpage
  ARM: place sigpage at a random offset above stack
