[CRIU] Heads up: Planned/upcoming changes to the kernel VDSO VVAR mappings

[Thomas Weißschuh]

Hi everybody,

I am currently working on changes to unify the internal implementation
of the vdso vvar storage.
As part of that some architecture-specific data is moved out of the
[vvar] mapping into their own dedicated mapping.
The new mappings (currently) are [gic] on mips and [vvar_vclock] on x86.
The x86 change is already on track for the upcoming merge window,
beginning next week.

You can see the code here:

* Code which is already on track for mainline:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/log/?h=timers/vdso

* All of the code:
  https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/thomas.weissschuh/linux.git/log/?h=vdso/store

Is this acceptable from CRIU side?


Thanks,
Thomas
