    arm64/vdso: Support mremap() for vDSO · 73958695
    Dmitry Safonov authored
    vDSO VMA address is saved in mm_context for the purpose of using
    restorer from vDSO page to return to userspace after signal handling.
    
    In Checkpoint Restore in Userspace (CRIU) project we place vDSO VMA
    on restore back to the place where it was on the dump.
    With the exception for x86 (where there is API to map vDSO with
    arch_prctl()), we move vDSO inherited from CRIU task to restoree
    position by mremap().
    
    CRIU does support arm64 architecture, but kernel doesn't update
    context.vdso pointer after mremap(). Which results in translation
    fault after signal handling on restored application:
    https://github.com/xemul/criu/issues/288
    
    Make vDSO code track the VMA address by supplying .mremap() fops
    the same way it's done for x86 and arm32 by:
    commit b059a453 ("x86/vdso: Add mremap hook to vm_special_mapping")
    commit 280e87e9 ("ARM: 8683/1: ARM32: Support mremap() for sigpage/vDSO").
