[PATCH v8 09/10] ARM: vdso initialization, mapping, and synchronization

Nathan Lynch nathan_lynch at mentor.com
Sat Aug 2 11:16:46 PDT 2014


Initialize the vdso page list at boot, install the vdso mapping at
exec time, and update the data page during timer ticks.  This code is
not built if CONFIG_VDSO is not enabled.

Account for the vdso length when randomizing the offset from the
stack.  The vdso is placed immediately following the sigpage with a
separate install_special_mapping call in arm_install_vdso.
