+/*
+ * Linker script for the VDSO.
+ *
+ * The VDSO is essentially a normal ELF shared library that is mapped into the
+ * address space of the process that is going to use it. The address of the
+ * VDSO is passed to the runtime linker in the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR entry of the aux
+ * vector.
+ *
+ * There are, however, three ways in which the VDSO differs from a normal
+ * shared library:
+ *
+ * - The runtime linker does not attempt to process any relocations for the
+ * VDSO so it is the responsibility of whoever loads the VDSO into the
+ * address space to do this if necessary. Because of this restriction we are
+ * careful to ensure that the VDSO does not need to have any relocations
+ * applied to it.
+ *
+ * - Although the VDSO is position independent and would normally be linked at
+ * virtual address 0, the Linux kernel VDSO is actually linked at a non zero
+ * virtual address and the code in the system runtime linker that handles the
+ * VDSO expects this to be the case so we have to explicitly link this VDSO
+ * at a non zero address. The actual address is arbitrary, but we use the
+ * same one as the Linux kernel VDSO.
+ *
+ * - The VDSO will be directly mmapped by the sentry, rather than going through
+ * a normal ELF loading process. The VDSO must be carefully constructed such
+ * that the layout in the ELF file is identical to the layout in memory.
