In preparation for checking that the vectors page on the ARM
architecture, refactor the find_vdso_map() function to accept finding an
arbitrary string and create a dedicated helper function for that under
util/find-map.c and update find_vdso_map() to use it.

Meh, this should be strlen() now, but I would like to hear comments
before submitting a v2 of this anyway. Thanks!

perf on ARM requires CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS to be turned on to allow some
independance with respect to the ARM CPU being used. Add a test which
tries to locate the [vectors] page, created when CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS is
turned on to help asses the system's health.

Hi Florian
I've suffered the pain from missing CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS. The
segfaults give little clue as to what is going wrong,and gdb is not
much use either.
What i don't see here is any clue to CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS. If the test
fails, could you print a message suggesting CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS on
ARM?

If you have a working backtrace, you can typically see the virtual
address being in 0xffff_xxxx which gives a bit of a clue, but yes, this
is not particularly helpful.

Sure, sounds reasonable, thanks for taking a look.

An alternative would be rather than adding this to user programs, to
have the kernel detect it and print a warning itself.
BTW, I note that the help text for CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS needs to be
updated.

Something like this below? It does not have to be an alternative
solution, I would find it useful for perf to make sure the vectors page
is present in the virtual address space by having an explicit test. perf
maintains, what do you think?

Yep, I'd swap the two tests merely because the check for 'sig' will be
slightly cheaper than the mask-and-test of addr, but it probably doesn't
make that much difference.
