From df1c5dfda0b4ed3aa39b4450a2f67c4239d8fde4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2017 17:14:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/vdso: Plug race between mapping and ELF header setup commit 6fdc6dd90272ce7e75d744f71535cfbd8d77da81 upstream. The vsyscall32 sysctl can racy against a concurrent fork when it switches from disabled to enabled: arch_setup_additional_pages() if (vdso32_enabled) --> No mapping sysctl.vsysscall32() --> vdso32_enabled = true create_elf_tables() ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 if (vdso32_enabled) { --> Add VDSO entry with NULL pointer Make ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 check whether the VDSO mapping has been set up for the newly forked process or not.
