There's a lot of information missing from this changelog :(


I rewrote it to this:

: selftests: proc: proc-pid-vm
: ========================================
: proc-pid-vm: proc-pid-vm.c:277: main: Assertion `rv == strlen(buf0)' failed.
: Aborted

Because the vsyscall mapping is enabled.  Read from vsyscall page to tell
if vsyscall is being used.
