I did not see it with your .config either.

Odd.  The missing symbols come from the same place that VDSO64_jiffies did.
The end of the arch/x86/vdso/vdso.lds file in your build should have these:

VDSO64_jiffies = vdso_jiffies;
VDSO64_vgetcpu_mode = vdso_vgetcpu_mode;
VDSO64_vsyscall_gtod_data = vdso_vsyscall_gtod_data;

readelf -s arch/x86/vdso/vvar.o in your build should show (among others):

     8: 0000000000000000     8 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT    4 vdso_jiffies
     9: 0000000000000008     8 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT    4 vdso_vgetcpu_mode
    10: 0000000000000010     8 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT    4 vdso_vsyscall_gtod_data

If either of those is not all there, you'll have to look into what's
happening in the generation of the respective files.


Thanks,
Roland
