Userland programs segfault. Basically you get an unusable system at boot time.

Hi,

The defect: from 4.14 on, ccache in its default direct mode looks for .incbin only in the raw source text, and only before a literal quote. vdso_wrap.S names the file through a macro (VDSO_FILE), so the check misses it. In direct mode the preprocessed text, where the name would be visible, is no longer scanned.

When it hits: when the vDSO changes.

The workaround: use CCACHE_NODIRECT=1

Hi Alexander,
What’s the net-effect of this issue? Is it a functional problem? Is it a security problem? Etc. Is there a bug tracking this issue on Bugzilla?
Thank you,
-Enji
