[PATCH v2 4/6] x86,vdso: Use .fault for the vdso text mapping

From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Mon Dec 14 2015 - 13:31:37 EST


The old scheme for mapping the vdso text is rather complicated. vdso2c
generates a struct vm_special_mapping and a blank .pages array of the
correct size for each vdso image. Init code in vdso/vma.c populates
the .pages array for each vdso image, and the mapping code selects
the appropriate struct vm_special_mapping.

With .fault, we can use a less roundabout approach: vdso_fault
just returns the appropriate page for the selected vdso image.
