Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/vdso: set vdso pointer only after success
Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2016 17:15:16 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161027141516.28447-3-dsafonov@virtuozzo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20161027141516.28447-1-dsafonov@virtuozzo.com>

Those pointers were initialized before call to _install_special_mapping
after the commit f7b6eb3fa072 ("x86: Set context.vdso before installing
the mapping"). This is not required anymore as special mappings have
their vma name and don't use arch_vma_name() after commit a62c34bd2a8a
("x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming").
So, this way to init looks less entangled.
I even belive, we can remove null initializers:
- on failure load_elf_binary() will not start a new thread;
- arch_prctl will have the same pointers as before syscall.
