* 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-tip: x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameter x86-64: Wire up getcpu syscall x86: Remove unnecessary compile flag tweaks for vsyscall code x86-64: Add vsyscall:emulate_vsyscall trace event x86-64: Add user_64bit_mode paravirt op x86-64, xen: Enable the vvar mapping x86-64: Work around gold bug 13023 x86-64: Move the "user" vsyscall segment out of the data segment. x86-64: Pad vDSO to a page boundary

x86-64: Rework vsyscall emulation and add vsyscall= parameter

2011-08-11T00:26:46Z

There are three choices: vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the corresponding syscalls. vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read that code. vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.
