[PATCH] Fix statically declare FIXMAPs
From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org>, me. Two uses of the FIXADDR_USER_START/END things are problematic: a) ppc64 wants the FIXADDR area to be at a different location on 32bit and 64bit tasks. On 32bit we want it just below 4GB but that gets in the way on 64bit. By putting both right at -(some small amount) we can also use some ppc tricks to get there real quickly (single instruction branches). b) We assume that FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END are constants. This breaks the UML build. Fixes: - Call it all gate. We currently have half the stuff called fixmap and the other gate, lets be consistent. - Create in_gate_area(), get_gate_vma() and use it in both places - Provide defaults for in_gate_area/get_gate_vma, allowing an arch to override it. (I used CONFIG_* but am open to better suggestions here) - The /proc/pid/maps vma wasnt marked readable but the get_user vma was. That sounds suspicious to me, they are now both the same VMA and so have the same (read,exec) permissions
