commit 47da29763ec9a153b9b685bff9db659e4e09e494 upstream. If userspace tries to change the stub, we need to kill it, because otherwise it can escape the virtual machine. In a few cases the stub checks weren't good, e.g. if userspace just tries to mmap(0x100000 - 0x1000, 0x3000, ...) it could succeed to get a new private/anonymous mapping replacing the stubs. Fix this by checking everywhere, and checking for _overlap_, not just direct changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
