Hi Mark,

Since LSK need to release on every last Thursday, that is 24 March. Do we need to tag last week's LSK as 16.03?

The easiest way to test this is to enable -DDEBUG on
arch/arm/kernel/vdso.o, and see the kernel address of the vDSO page.
Then, using CONFIG_ARM_PTDUMP, look at the mappings, and ensure this
page is in RO after applying these patches.

Milosz,

Would your team like to do a test on both lsk 4.1/4.4 kernel for this feature?

Regards Alex
