From f2053f1a7bf6005b4e81826b1ac8d0b4117c4cf0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:57:40 +0000 Subject: powerpc/perf_counter: Fix vdso detection perf_counter uses arch_vma_name() to detect a vdso region which in turn uses current->mm->context.vdso_base. We need to initialise this before doing the mmap or else we fail to detect the vdso.
