    x86 vDSO: consolidate vdso32 · af65d648
    Roland McGrath authored
    This makes x86_64's ia32 emulation support share the sources used in the
    32-bit kernel for the 32-bit vDSO and much of its setup code.
    
    The 32-bit vDSO mapping now behaves the same on x86_64 as on native 32-bit.
    The abi.syscall32 sysctl on x86_64 now takes the same values that
    vm.vdso_enabled takes on the 32-bit kernel.  That is, 1 means a randomized
    vDSO location, 2 means the fixed old address.  The CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO
    option is now available to make this the default setting, the same meaning
    it has for the 32-bit kernel.  (This does not affect the 64-bit vDSO.)
    
    The argument vdso32=[012] can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels to
    set this paramter at boot time.  The vdso=[012] argument still does this
    same thing on the 32-bit kernel.
