=== Kerndat test: check presence of the bug with mmaping over 4Gb ===
−

As 32-bit application is restored from 64-bit CRIU, some task's properties that were filled on <code>exec()</code> are left, which is quite unusual for 32-bit task. One of the things, left from 64-bit binary is precalculated <code>mmap_base</code> which is used to find task's top/bottom address limit during <code>mmap()</code> syscall. That means that compat <code>sys_mmap()</code> may map page over 4Gb address and return 4-byte pointer to low bytes of address. Looks like no one has used compatible mmap in 64-bit binary. Results in broken mmap in restored 32-bit application, which can map vma over 4Gb.

See [[Upstream kernel commits]], the bug is fixed in linux-next, but the kerndat criu test should be reworked to check presence of this bug, not only arch_prctl() for 32-bit vdso.

=== Issue with compat vdso helper ===
−
Rarely it segfaults: [https://github.com/xemul/criu/issues/290 issue], [https://github.com/xemul/criu/issues/273 reproduce].

Presumably, because of using syscall() and memcpy() from Glibc, instead of raw pie-helpers at the moment of unmapped vdso/vvar vmas.
