[PATCH 1/2] x86 vDSO: don't use disabled vDSO for signal trampoline

From: Roland McGrath
Date: Wed Apr 09 2008 - 04:29:39 EST


If the vDSO was not mapped, don't use it as the "restorer" for a signal
handler. Whether we have a pointer in mm->context.vdso depends on what
happened at exec time, so we shouldn't check any global flags now.
