Those pointers were initialized before call to _install_special_mapping() after the commit: f7b6eb3f ("x86: Set context.vdso before installing the mapping") This is not required anymore as special mappings have their vma name and don't use arch_vma_name() after commit: a62c34bd ("x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming") So, this way to init looks less entangled. I even belive that we can remove NULL initializers: - on failure load_elf_binary() will not start a new thread; - arch_prctl will have the same pointers as before syscall.
