AFAICT we'll pay one extra TLB entry for this patch. Zach had a patch which left the vsyscall page at the top of memory (minus hole for hypervisor) and patched the ELF header at boot. Thoughts welcome, Rusty.

This fixes various problems that cropped up with the vdso patches. - Patch 1 fixes an information leak to userspace. - Patches 2 and 3 fix the kernel build on gold. - Patches 4 and 5 fix Xen (I hope). - Patch 6 (optional) adds a trace event to vsyscall emulation. It will make it easier to handle performance regression reports :) [1]

Konrad, could you could test these on Xen and run 'test_vsyscall test' [1]? I don't have a usable Xen setup. Also, I'd appreciate a review of patches 4 and 5 from some

This adds support for CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO. As this will certainly raise questions, I left in the code needed for an alternative approach (which requires mode C code, but less build script changes).

I just rebased my paravirt_ops patch queue to current git. Looks like almost all the pre-req patches are now in, which is nice. The only missing thing from your patches was you sched_clock patches and the sched_clock paravirt-op. Are there still problems with either your sched_clock patch or the paravirt patch? Should I resubmit the paravirt-sched_clock patch based on git? The only other
