In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

LoongArch: Don't crash in stack_top() for tasks without vDSO

Not all tasks have a vDSO mapped, for example kthreads never do. If such
a task ever ends up calling stack_top(), it will derefence the NULL vdso
pointer and crash.

This can for example happen when using kunit:

	[<9000000000203874>] stack_top+0x58/0xa8
	[<90000000002956cc>] arch_pick_mmap_layout+0x164/0x220
	[<90000000003c284c>] kunit_vm_mmap_init+0x108/0x12c

	[<90000000003c2704>] kunit_vm_mmap+0x88/0xc8
	[<9000000000410b14>] usercopy_test_init+0xbc/0x25c
	[<90000000003c1db4>] kunit_try_run_case+0x5c/0x184
