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.
