Siddha, Suresh B	9fb1759a31	[PATCH] x86_64: TASK_SIZE fixes for compatibility mode processes ... A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page. Check the return value and free the vma incase of failure. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>	2005-07-15 22:56:11 -07:00
Andi Kleen	1e01441051	[PATCH] x86_64: Use a VMA for the 32bit vsyscall ... Use a real VMA to map the 32bit vsyscall page This interacts better with Hugh's upcomming VMA walk optimization Also removes some ugly special cases. Code roughly modelled after the ppc64 vdso version from Ben Herrenschmidt.

Linus Torvalds	1da177e4c3	Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!	2005-04-16 15:20:36 -07:00
