[PATCH] x86-64: fix perms/range of vsyscall vma in /proc/*/maps
The final line of /proc/<pid>/maps on x86_64 for native 64-bit
tasks shows an incorrect ending address and incorrect permissions. There
is only a single page mapped in this vsyscall region, and it is accessible
for both read and execute.
The patch below fixes this. (Since 32-bit-compat tasks have a real vma
with correct perms/range, no change is necessary for that scenario.)
Before the patch, a "cat /proc/self/maps | tail -1" shows this:
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffffe00000 ---p 00000000 [...]
After the patch, this is the output:
ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 [...]
