x86_64,vsyscall: Make vsyscall emulation configurable

amluto · KAGA-KOKO · commit 1ad83c858c7d · 2014-11-03T21:44:57.000+01:00
This adds CONFIG_X86_VSYSCALL_EMULATION, guarded by CONFIG_EXPERT. Turning it off completely disables vsyscall emulation, saving ~3.5k for vsyscall_64.c, 4k for vsyscall_emu_64.S (the fake vsyscall page), some tiny amount of core mm code that supports a gate area, and possibly 4k for a wasted pagetable. The latter is because the vsyscall addresses are misaligned and fit poorly in the fixmap.

+	 This enables emulation of the legacy vsyscall page.  Disabling
+	 it is roughly equivalent to booting with vsyscall=none, except
+	 that it will also disable the helpful warning if a program
+	 tries to use a vsyscall.  With this option set to N, offending
+	 programs will just segfault, citing addresses of the form
+	 0xffffffffff600?00.
+
+	 This option is required by many programs built before 2013, and
+	 care should be used even with newer programs if set to N.
+
+	 Disabling this option saves about 7K of kernel size and
+	 possibly 4K of additional runtime pagetable memory.
