vdso_fault used is_compat_task function (on s390 it tests "current" thread_info flags) to distinguish compat tasks and map 31-bit vdso pages. But "current" task might not correspond to mm context. When 31-bit compat inferior is executed under gdb, gdb does PTRACE_PEEKTEXT on vdso page, causing vdso_fault with "current" being 64-bit gdb process. So, 31-bit inferior ends up with 64-bit vdso mapped. To avoid this problem a new compat_mm flag has been introduced into mm context. This flag is used in vdso_fault and vdso_mremap instead of is_compat_task. Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
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. 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.
