3.10-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b485342bd79af363c77ef1a421c4a0aef2de9812 upstream.
Commit a074335a370e ("x86, um: Mark system call tables readonly") was
supposed to mark the sys_call_table in UML as RO by adding the const,
but it doesn't have the desired effect as it's nevertheless being placed
into the data section since __cacheline_aligned enforces sys_call_table
being placed into .data..cacheline_aligned instead. We need to use
the ____cacheline_aligned version instead to fix this issue.
Before:
$ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table"
U sys_writev
0000000000000000 D sys_call_table
0000000000000000 D syscall_table_size
After:
$ nm -v arch/x86/um/sys_call_table_64.o | grep -1 "sys_call_table"
U sys_writev
0000000000000000 R sys_call_table
0000000000000000 D syscall_table_size
