Appended patch fixes an oops while changing the vsyscall sysctl. I am sure no one tested this code before integrating into mainline :( BTW, using ioremap() in vsyscall_sysctl_change() to get the virtual address of a kernel symbol sounds like an over kill.. I wonder if we can define a simple __va_vsymbol() which will return directly the kernel direct mapping. comments in the code which says gcc has trouble with __va(__pa()) sounds bogus to me. __pa() on a vsyscall address will not work anyhow :( And also, the whole nop out syscall in vsyscall page infrastructure (vsyscall_sysctl_change()) is added to make some attacks difficult, and yet I don't see this nop out being done by default. This area requires more cleanups? Fix an oops with __pa_vsymbol(). VSYSCALL_FIRST_PAGE is a fixmap index. We want the starting virtual address of the vsyscall page and not the index.
