From 3935ed6a3a533c1736e3ca65bff72afd1773be27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefani Seibold Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2014 23:22:02 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Add new func _install_special_mapping() to mmap.c The _install_special_mapping() is the new base function for install_special_mapping(). This function will return a pointer of the created VMA or a error code in an ERR_PTR() This new function will be needed by the for the vdso 32 bit support to map the additonal vvar and hpet pages into the 32 bit address space. This will be done with io_remap_pfn_range() and remap_pfn_range, which requieres a vm_area_struct.
