vsyscall detection code uses direct call to the beginning of
the vsyscall page:
asm ("call %P0" :: "i" (0xffffffffff600000))
It generates "call rel32" instruction but it is not relocated if binary
is PIE, so binary segfaults into random userspace address and vsyscall
page status is detected incorrectly.
Do more direct:
asm ("call *%rax")
which doesn't do need any relocaltions.
Mark g_vsyscall as volatile for a good measure, I didn't find instruction
setting it to 0. Now the code is obviously correct:
xor eax, eax
mov rdi, rbp
mov rsi, rbp
mov DWORD PTR [rip+0x2d15], eax # g_vsyscall = 0
mov rax, 0xffffffffff600000
call rax
mov DWORD PTR [rip+0x2d02], 1 # g_vsyscall = 1
mov eax, DWORD PTR ds:0xffffffffff600000
mov DWORD PTR [rip+0x2cf1], 2 # g_vsyscall = 2
mov edi, [rip+0x2ceb] # exit(g_vsyscall)
call exit
Note: fixed proc-empty-vm test oopses 5.19.0-28-generic kernel
but this is separate story.

I can confirm that the patch fixed the core dump in the exact environment that
used to reproduce the bug.
Apparently, it seems that gcc 12.2.0 -O2 optimiser on Ubuntu 22.10 kinetic kudu
did some new creative stuff to Alexey's code. For someone interested, I have saved the
assembly with and w/o -O2 ...
However, I have just found some spurious bug in proc-uptime-001.
But, this is another story ...
Thanks,
Mirsad
