[PATCH] i386: Relocate VDSO ELF headers to match mapped location with COMPAT_VDSO
Some versions of libc can't deal with a VDSO which doesn't have its ELF headers matching its mapped address. COMPAT_VDSO maps the VDSO at a specific system-wide fixed address. Previously this was all done at build time, on the grounds that the fixed VDSO address is always at the top of the address space. However, a hypervisor may reserve some of that address space, pushing the fixmap address down. This patch does the adjustment dynamically at runtime, depending on the runtime location of the VDSO fixmap. [ Patch has been through several hands: Jan Beulich wrote the orignal version; Zach reworked it, and Jeremy converted it to relocate phdrs as well as sections. ] Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Cc: Zachary Amsden <[email protected]> Cc: "Jan Beulich" <[email protected]> Cc: Eric W.
