[PATCH 0/2] x86/vdso: small fixups for map_vdso

[Dmitry Safonov]

The first one is a fixup for arch_prctl constants uapi visability,
the second is code simplification.

Dmitry Safonov (2):
  x86/prctl/uapi: remove ifdef for CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
  x86/vdso: set vdso pointer only after success

[PATCH 1/2] x86/prctl/uapi: remove ifdef for CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

[Dmitry Safonov]

As userspace knows nothing about kernel config, this ifdefs
will make prctl constants invisible to userspace.
Let it be clean'n'simple: remove ifdefs.
If kernel has CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE disabled, sys_prctl()
will return -EINVAL for those prctls.

x86/prctl/uapi: Remove #ifdef for CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

As userspace knows nothing about kernel config, thus #ifdefs
around ABI prctl constants makes them invisible to userspace.

Let it be clean'n'simple: remove #ifdefs.

If kernel has CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE disabled, sys_prctl()

[PATCH 2/2] x86/vdso: set vdso pointer only after success

[Dmitry Safonov]

Those pointers were initialized before call to _install_special_mapping
after the commit f7b6eb3fa072 ("x86: Set context.vdso before installing
the mapping"). This is not required anymore as special mappings have
their vma name and don't use arch_vma_name() after commit a62c34bd2a8a
("x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming").
So, this way to init looks less entangled.
I even belive, we can remove null initializers:
- on failure load_elf_binary() will not start a new thread;
- arch_prctl will have the same pointers as before syscall.
