Some architecture would like to be triggered when a memory area is moved
through the mremap system call.
This patch is introducing a new arch_remap mm hook which is placed in the
path of mremap, and is called before the old area is unmapped (and the
arch_unmap hook is called).
The architectures w
CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
memory area on top of the current process (criu). This includes remapping
the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.
However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the vDSO
base address to build th

Some processes (CRIU) are moving the vDSO area using the mremap system
call. As a consequence the kernel reference to the vDSO base address is
no more valid and the signal return frame built once the vDSO has been
moved is not pointing to the new sigreturn address.
This patch handles vDSO remappin

Prior to this commit, it was impossible to use relative path to
include Makefiles from the top level Makefile because the option
"--include-dir=$(srctree)" becomes effective when Make enters into
sub Makefiles.
To use relative path in any places, this commit moves the option
above the "sub-make" t
