x86/vdso: Plug race between mapping and ELF header setup
commit 6fdc6dd90272ce7e75d744f71535cfbd8d77da81 upstream.
The vsyscall32 sysctl can racy against a concurrent fork when it switches
from disabled to enabled:
arch_setup_additional_pages()
if (vdso32_enabled)
--> No mapping
sysctl.vsysscall32()
--> vdso32_enabled = true
create_elf_tables()
ARCH_DLINFO_IA32
if (vdso32_enabled) {
--> Add VDSO entry with NULL pointer
Make ARCH_DLINFO_IA32 check whether the VDSO mapping has been set up for
the newly forked process or not.
