x86/vdso: Add mremap hook to vm_special_mapping
Add possibility for 32-bit user-space applications to move the vDSO mapping. Previously, when a user-space app called mremap() for the vDSO address, in the syscall return path it would land on the previous address of the vDSOpage, resulting in segmentation violation. Now it lands fine and returns to userspace with a remapped vDSO. This will also fix the context.vdso pointer for 64-bit, which does not affect the user of vDSO after mremap() currently, but this may change in the future. As suggested by Andy, return -EINVAL for mremap() that would split the vDSO image: that operation cannot possibly result in a working system so reject it. Renamed and moved the text_mapping structure declaration inside map_vdso(), as it used only there and now it complements the vvar_mapping variable. There is still a problem for remapping the vDSO in glibc applications: the linker relocates addresses for syscalls on the vDSO page, so you need to relink with the new addresses. Without that the next syscall through glibc may fail: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. #0 0xf7fd9b80 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xf7ec8238 in _exit () from /usr/lib32/libc.so.6 Signed-off-by: Dmitry Safonov <dsafonov@virtuozzo.com> Acked-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: 0x7f454c46@gmail.com Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Brian Gerst <brgerst@gmail.com> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: H.
