From ac379835e820de27429b5c4eadf4c1b40320cff4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 16:27:01 -0700 Subject: x86/vdso: Set VM_MAYREAD for the vvar vma The VVAR area can, obviously, be read; that is kind of the point. AFAIK this has no effect whatsoever unless x86 suddenly turns into a nommu architecture. Nonetheless, not setting it is suspicious.
