Yeah, so I changed my mind again, I still don't like that the testcase faults on
old kernels:

 triton:~/tip/tools/testing/selftests/x86> ./test_mremap_vdso_32
         AT_SYSINFO_EHDR is 0xf7786000
 [NOTE]  Moving vDSO: [0xf7786000, 0xf7787000] -> [0xf7781000, 0xf7782000]
 Segmentation fault

How do I know that this testcase is special and that a segmentation fault in this
case means that I'm running it on a too old kernel and that it's not some other
unexpected failure in the test?

At minimum please run it behind fork() and catch the -SIGSEGV child exit:

  mremap(0xf7747000, 4096, 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE|MREMAP_FIXED, 0xf7742000) = 0xf7742000
  --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0xf7747be9} ---
  +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

and print:

  [FAIL] mremap() of the vDSO does not work on this kernel!

or such.

Ok?

Ok, will do.

Thanks,
Dmitry
