[PATCH] [STABLE backport 4.9] arm64, vdso: Define vdso_{start,end} as array

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Fri Jul 05 2019 - 14:47:51 EST


From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit dbbb08f500d6146398b794fdc68a8e811366b451 upstream.

Adjust vdso_{start|end} to be char arrays to avoid compile-time analysis
that flags "too large" memcmp() calls with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE.

Backported to 4.9, which is lacking the rework from
2077be6783b5 ("arm64: Use __pa_symbol for kernel symbols")
