    x86: vdso linker script cleanup · c65916fe
    Roland McGrath authored
    I can't see the reason ".  = VDSO_PRELINK + 0x900;" was ever there in
    the linker script for the x86_64 vDSO.  I can't find anything that
    depends on this magic offset, or that should care at all about the
    particular location of of the .data section (all from vvar.c) in the
    vDSO image.  If it is really desireable to place .data at 0x900, then it
    should be after all the other sections so they fill in the space up to
    0x900.
    
    This removes the 0x900 magic and cleans up the output sections generally
    in the vDSO linker script.  This saves a few hundred bytes in the size
    of the vDSO file, bringing it back well under 4kb total so that its vma
    only needs one page.
