From fa5dc22f8586cc3742413dd05f5cd9e039dfab9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2007 14:20:41 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add install_special_mapping This patch adds a utility function install_special_mapping, for creating a special vma using a fixed set of preallocated pages as backing, such as for a vDSO. This consolidates some nearly identical code used for vDSO mapping reimplemented for different architectures.
