Subject: [PATCH v2 -next] x86,vdso: Fix an OOPS accessing the hpet mapping w/o an hpet
Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 16:46:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c8b0a9a0b8d011a8b273cbb2de88d37190ed2751.1400111179.git.luto@amacapital.net> (raw)

The oops can be triggered in qemu using -no-hpet (but not nohpet) by
reading a couple of pages past the end of the vdso text.  This
should send SIGBUS instead of OOPSing.

The bug was introduced by:

commit 7a59ed415f5b57469e22e41fc4188d5399e0b194
Author: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net>
Date:   Mon Mar 17 23:22:09 2014 +0100

    x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 32 bit kernel

which is new in 3.15.

This will be fixed separately in 3.15, but that patch will not apply
to tip/x86/vdso.  This is the equivalent fix for tip/x86/vdso and,
presumably, 3.16.
