New kernel 3.16 will have old vDSO zone splitted into the two vmas: one for vdso code itself and second that named vvar for data been referenced from vdso code. Because I can't do 'dump' and 'restore' parts of the code separately (otherwise test would fail) the commit is pretty big one and hard to read so here is detailed explanation what's going on. 1) When start dumping we detect vvar zone by reading /proc/pid/smap and looking up for "[vvar]" token. Note the vvar zone is mapped by a kernel with PF/IO flags so we should not fail here. Also it's assumed that at least for now kernel won't be changed much and [vvar] zone always follows the [vdso] zone, otherwise criu will print error. 2) In previous commits we disabled dumping vvar area contents so the restorer code never try to read vvar data but still we need to map vvar zone thus vma entry remains in image. 3) As with previous vdso format we might have 2 cases a) Dump and restore is happening on same kernel b) Dump and restore are done on different kernels To detect which case we have we parse vdso data from image and find symbols offsets then compare their values with runtime symbols provided us by a kernel. If they match and (!!!) the size of vvar zone is the same -- we simply remap both zones from runtime kernel into the positions dumpee had at checkpoint time. This is that named "inplace" remap (a). If this happens the vdso_proxify() routine drops VMA_AREA_REGULAR from vvar area provided by a caller code and restorer won't try to handle this vma. It looks somehow strange and probably should be reworked but for now I left it as is to minimize the patch. In case of (b) we need to generate a proxy. We do that in same way as we were before just include vvar zone into proxy and save vvar proxy address inside vdso mark injected into vdso area. Thus on subsequent checkpoint we can detect proxy vvar zone and rip it off the list of vmas to handle. Signed-off-by:
