3.16.46-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 6fdc6dd90272ce7e75d744f71535cfbd8d77da81 upstream. The vsyscall32 sysctl can racy against a concurrent fork when it switches from disabled to enabled: arch_setup_additional_pages() if (vdso32_enabled) --> No mapping sysctl.vsysscall32() --> vdso32_enabled = true create_elf_tables() ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 if (vdso32_enabled) { --> Add VDSO entry with NULL pointer Make ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 check whether the VDSO mapping has been set up for the newly forked process or not.
