Jeremy Fitzhardinge 1dbf527c51 [PATCH] i386: Make COMPAT_VDSO runtime selectable.
Now that relocation of the VDSO for COMPAT_VDSO users is done at
runtime rather than compile time, it is possible to enable/disable
compat mode at runtime.

This patch allows you to enable COMPAT_VDSO mode with "vdso=2" on the
kernel command line, or via sysctl.  (Switching on a running system
shouldn't be done lightly; any process which was relying on the compat
VDSO will be upset if it goes away.)

The COMPAT_VDSO config option still exists, but if enabled it just
makes vdso_enabled default to VDSO_COMPAT.

+From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

Fix oops from i386-make-compat_vdso-runtime-selectable.patch.

Even mingetty at system startup finds it easy to trigger an oops
while reading /proc/PID/maps: though it has a good hold on the mm
itself, that cannot stop exit_mm() from resetting tsk->mm to NULL.

(It is usually show_map()'s call to get_gate_vma() which oopses,
and I expect we could change that to check priv->tail_vma instead;
but no matter, even m_start()'s call just after get_task_mm() is racy.)
