[RFC v2 4/7] arm64: Use generic VDSO unmap and remap functions

From: Christopher Covington <hidden>
Date: 2016-11-01 17:11:59
Also in: linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

Checkpoint/Restore In Userspace (CRIU) must be able to remap and unmap the
Virtual Dynamic Shared Object (VDSO) to be able to handle the changing
addresses that result from address space layout randomization. Now that
generic support is available and arm64 has adopted unsigned long for the
type of mm->context.vdso, opt-in to VDSO unmap and remap support.
