[PATCHv6 20/36] x86/vdso: Restrict splitting VVAR VMA

From: Dmitry Safonov <hidden>
Date: 2019-08-15 16:40:28
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit), x86 entry code, x86 vdso · Maintainers: Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen, Andy Lutomirski

Although, time namespace can work with VVAR VMA split, it seems worth
to forbid splitting VVAR resulting in stricter ABI and reducing amount
of corner-cases to consider while working further on VDSO.

I don't think there is any use-case for partial mremap() of vvar,
but if there is any - this patch can be easily reverted.
