The vsyscall is a legacy API for fast execution of system calls. It maps a page at address VSYSCALL_ADDR into the userspace program. This address is in the top 10MB of the address space: ffffffffff600000 - ffffffffff600fff | 4 kB | legacy vsyscall ABI The last commit fixes the x86-64 BPF JIT to skip accessing addresses in this memory region. Add this address to bpf_testmod_return_ptr() so we can make sure that it is fixed. After this change and without the previous commit, subprogs_extable selftest will crash the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
