Subject[PATCH v4 08/10] x86-64: Emulate legacy vsyscalls
Date
There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page.  It contains a
syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who knows
what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of some other
code.

Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic
incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real vsyscalls.
These incantations are useless if entered in the middle.

This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real
syscalls. Fortunately sensible programs don't use them.

Less fortunately, current glibc uses the vsyscall for time() even in
dynamic binaries. So there's a CONFIG_UNSAFE_VSYSCALLS (default y)
option that leaves in the native code for time(). That should go
away in awhile when glibc gets fixed.

Some care is taken to make sure that tools like valgrind and
ThreadSpotter still work.

This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet functions
are still at a fixed address. Fixing that might involve making
alternative patching work in the vDSO.
