heya,
I reviewed vdso changes:

perf tools: Pass machine to vdso__dso_findnew()
perf tools: Group VDSO global variables into a structure
perf tools: Fix the lifetime of the VDSO temporary file
perf tools: Add vdso__new()
perf tools: Separate the VDSO map name from the VDSO dso name
perf tools: Build programs to copy 32-bit compatibility VDSOs
perf tools: Add dso__type()
perf tools: Add thread parameter to vdso__dso_findnew()
perf tools: Add support for 32-bit compatibility VDSOs
