Subject: x86/vdso: Ensure vdso32_enabled gets set to valid values only
From: Mathias Krause <minipli@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit c06989da39cdb10604d572c8c7ea8c8c97f3c483 upstream.
vdso_enabled can be set to arbitrary integer values via the kernel command
line 'vdso32=' parameter or via 'sysctl abi.vsyscall32'.
load_vdso32() only maps VDSO if vdso_enabled == 1, but ARCH_DLINFO_IA32
merily checks for vdso_enabled != 0. As a consequence the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR
auxiliary vector for the VDSO_ENTRY is emitted with a NULL pointer which
causes a segfault when the application tries to use the VDSO.
Restrict the valid arguments on the command line and the sysctl to 0 and 1.
