From: Veronika Kabatova <vkabatov@redhat.com>

Test checks if vsyscall and vdso VMAs are reported correctly. vsyscall
range and permissions were fixed with kernel commit 103efcd9aac1 ("fix
perms/range of vsyscall vma in /proc/*/maps"). While some newer systems
run with CONFIG_LEGACY_VSYSCALL_NONE, this test may serve to find
regressions on systems still running with vsyscalls.

Second part of the test checks regression of vdso permissions bug
(fixed with b6558c4a2378 ("fix [vdso] page permissions") and
e5b97dde514f ("add VM_ALWAYSDUMP")). As a consequence of this bug, vdso
pages were not included in core dumps which caused incomplete
backtraces:

    Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

+# Test description: [regression] Check if the vsyscall and vdso VMA regions are
+#                   reported correctly.
+#
+#       While [vsyscall] is mostly deprecated with newer systems, there is
+#       still plenty of kernels compiled with CONFIG_LEGACY_VSYSCALL_NATIVE and
+#       CONFIG_LEGACY_VSYSCALL_EMULATE (see linux/arch/x86/Kconfig for option
+#       descriptions). First part of the test will check eligible kernels for
+#       regression for a bug fixed by commit 103efcd9aac1 (fix perms/range of
+#       vsyscall vma in /proc/*/maps).
+#
+#       Second part of test checks [vdso] VMA permissions (fixed with commits
+#       b6558c4a2378 (fix [vdso] page permissions) and e5b97dde514f (Add
+#       VM_ALWAYSDUMP)). As a consequence of this bug, VMAs were not included
+#       in core dumps which resulted in eg. incomplete backtraces and invalid
+#       core dump files created by gdb.
