Subject: [PATCH 3/4] x86-64: link vDSO into the kernel with relocations
Preserve relocation info about the sections in the vDSO.
This is achieved by linking the vDSO twice.
First link produces a complete vdso.so as seen by user-space.
This image is used to:
- determine the final layout of the vDSO
(extracted by nm to vdso-syms.h)
- obtain the ELF headers and linker-generated sections
(copied by the assembler .incbin directive to .vdso_head and
.vdso_tail sections of vdso-parts.o)
The second link combines the head and tail portions with the
rodata, data and text sections of the object which make up the vDSO,
but doesn't produce a shared library, but a relocatable object for
further linking.
Advantages of this approach:
1. No run-time bloat. All that can be done at link time is done
at link time.
2. No user-space bloat. Only those sections which are needed by
user-space are mapped into the process space.
3. Possibility to re-use the technique for more general linking,
e.g. get rid of VMAGIC and run-time vDSO "resolving" of vDSO
variables in init_vdso_vars().
