uprobes: Teach __create_xol_area() to accept the predefined vaddr
Currently xol_add_vma() uses get_unmapped_area() for area->vaddr, but the next patches need to use the fixed address. So this patch adds the new "vaddr" argument to __create_xol_area() which should be used as area->vaddr if it is nonzero. xol_add_vma() doesn't bother to verify that the predefined addr is not used, insert_vm_struct() should fail if find_vma_links() detects the overlap with the existing vma. Also, __create_xol_area() doesn't need __GFP_ZERO to allocate area. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Acked-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
