      x86, vsyscall: fix the oops crash with __pa_vsymbol() · 957ff882
      Siddha, Suresh B 提交于
      Appended patch fixes an oops while changing the vsyscall sysctl.
      I am sure no one tested this code before integrating into mainline :(
      
      BTW, using ioremap() in vsyscall_sysctl_change() to get the virtual
      address of a kernel symbol sounds like an over kill.. I wonder if we
      can define a simple __va_vsymbol() which will return directly the
      kernel direct mapping. comments in the code which says gcc has trouble
      with __va(__pa()) sounds bogus to me. __pa() on a vsyscall address will
      not work anyhow :(
      
      And also, the whole nop out syscall in vsyscall page infrastructure
      (vsyscall_sysctl_change()) is added to make some attacks difficult,
      and yet I don't see this nop out being done by default. This area
      requires more cleanups?
      
      Fix an oops with __pa_vsymbol(). VSYSCALL_FIRST_PAGE is a fixmap index.
      We want the starting virtual address of the vsyscall page and not the index.
