+Subject: [PATCH 080/347] ARM: Initialize split page table locks for vector
+ page
+Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.246-rt110.tar.xz
+
+Without this patch, ARM can not use SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS if
+PREEMPT_RT_FULL=y because vectors_user_mapping() creates a
+VM_ALWAYSDUMP mapping of the vector page (address 0xffff0000), but no
+ptl->lock has been allocated for the page. An attempt to coredump
+that page will result in a kernel NULL pointer dereference when
+follow_page() attempts to lock the page.
+
+The call tree to the NULL pointer dereference is:
+
+ do_notify_resume()
+ get_signal_to_deliver()
+ do_coredump()
+ elf_core_dump()
+ get_dump_page()
+ __get_user_pages()
+ follow_page()
+ pte_offset_map_lock() <----- a #define
+ ...
+ rt_spin_lock()
+
+The underlying problem is exposed by mm-shrink-the-page-frame-to-rt-size.patch.
