[ Upstream commit a9e73998f9d705c94a8dca9687633adc0f24a19a ] While validating new map we require the @start_data to be strictly less than @end_data, which is fine for regular applications (this is why this nit didn't trigger for that long). These members are set from executable loaders such as elf handers, still it is pretty valid to have a loadable data section with zero size in file, in such case the start_data is equal to end_data once kernel loader finishes. As a result when we're trying to restore such programs the procedure fails and the kernel returns -EINVAL. From the image dump of a program: | "mm_start_code": "0x400000", | "mm_end_code": "0x8f5fb4", | "mm_start_data": "0xf1bfb0", | "mm_end_data": "0xf1bfb0", Thus we need to change validate_prctl_map from strictly less to less or equal operator use.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
