[PATCHv8 26/34] x86/vdso: Zap vvar pages on switch a time namspace

Dmitry Safonov dima at arista.com
Tue Nov 12 01:27:15 UTC 2019


The VVAR page layout depends on whether a task belongs to the root or
non-root time namespace. Whenever a task changes its namespace, the VVAR
page tables are cleared and then they will re-faulted with a
corresponding layout.
