New subject: [PATCH v2] proc: fix test for "vsyscall=xonly" boot option

12 Jul 2022

Booting with vsyscall=xonly results in the "--xp" vsyscall VMA:
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 --xp ... [vsyscall]\n
Test does read from fixed vsyscall address to determine if kernel
supports vsyscall page but it doesn't work with vsyscall=xonly
because, well, vsyscall page is execute only.
Fix test by trying to execute from the first byte of the page
(which contains gettimeofday() stub). This should work because vsyscall
entry points themselves have stable addresses by design.
Alexey, avoiding parsing .config, /proc/config.gz and
    /proc/cmdline at all costs.
