3.16.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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.
