[PATCH v2 0/6] Collected vdso/vsyscall fixes for 3.1
From: Andy Lutomirski
Date: Wed Aug 03 2011 - 09:32:58 EST
This fixes various problems that cropped up with the vdso patches.
- Patch 1 fixes an information leak to userspace.
- Patches 2 and 3 fix the kernel build on gold.
- Patches 4 and 5 fix Xen (I hope).
- Patch 6 (optional) adds a trace event to vsyscall emulation. It will
make it easier to handle performance regression reports :)
