FROMLIST: [PATCH v3 1/3] arm64: compat: Split the sigreturn trampolines and kuser helpers (C sources) (cherry picked from url http://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1709.1/01901.html ) AArch32 processes are currently installed a special [vectors] page that contains the sigreturn trampolines and the kuser helpers, at the fixed address mandated by the kuser helpers ABI. Having both functionalities in the same page has become problematic, because: * It makes it impossible to disable the kuser helpers (the sigreturn trampolines cannot be removed), which is possible on arm. * A future 32-bit vDSO would provide the sigreturn trampolines itself, making those in [vectors] redundant. This patch addresses the problem by moving the sigreturn trampolines to a separate [sigpage] page, mirroring [sigpage] on arm. Even though [vectors] has always been a misnomer on arm64/compat, as there is no AArch32 vector there (and now only the kuser helpers), its name has been left unchanged, for compatibility with arm (there are reports of software relying on [vectors] being there as the last mapping in /proc/maps). mm->context.vdso used to point to the [vectors] page, which is unnecessary (as its address is fixed). It now points to the [sigpage] page (whose address is randomized like a vDSO).
