This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled arm64: vdso: prevent ld from aligning PT_LOAD segments to 64k to the linux-3.8.y-queue branch of the 3.8.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.8.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.8.13.19. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.8.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From e00d1f4822e47b4adfa3f3987b00fdd68dc8134d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Date: Tue, 4 Feb 2014 14:41:26 +0000 Subject: arm64: vdso: prevent ld from aligning PT_LOAD segments to 64k commit 40507403485fcb56b83d6ddfc954e9b08305054c upstream. Whilst the text segment for our VDSO is marked as PT_LOAD in the ELF headers, it is mapped by the kernel and not actually subject to demand-paging. ld doesn't realise this, and emits a p_align field of 64k (the maximum supported page size), which conflicts with the load address picked by the kernel on 4k systems, which will be 4k aligned. This causes GDB to fail with "Failed to read a valid object file image from memory" when attempting to load the VDSO. This patch passes the -n option to ld, which prevents it from aligning PT_LOAD segments to the maximum page size.
