Subject: [patch 2/3] x86/vdso: Plug race between mapping and ELF header setup
Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2017 17:14:28 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170410151723.602367196@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170410151426.808543816@linutronix.de>

[-- Attachment #1: x86-vdso--Plug-race-between-mapping-and-ELF-header-setup.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1131 bytes --]

The vsyscall32 sysctl can racy against a concurrent fork when it switches
from disabled to enabled:

    arch_setup_additional_pages()
	if (vdso32_enabled)
           --> No mapping
                                        sysctl.vsysscall32()
                                          --> vdso32_enabled = true
    create_elf_tables()
      ARCH_DLINFO_IA32
        if (vdso32_enabled) {
           --> Add VDSO entry with NULL pointer

Make ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 check whether the VDSO mapping has been set up for
the newly forked process or not.
