[PATCH 1/4] x86,vdso: Fix an OOPS accessing the hpet mapping w/o an hpet
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
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.
