Paravirt-ops guests which move the fixmap also end up moving the syscall
VDSO. This fails if it is prelinked at a fixed address, which is why
COMPAT_VDSO is broken under CONFIG_VMI (and also under CONFIG_XEN).
Several options are available to try to address this. Jan had cooked up
a patch for Xen that used build magic to find the parts of the VDSO that
need relocation. I don't like the idea of having auto-generated
relocations, as someday something could change between two linked
objects (timestamp, elf notes perhaps) that is not a relocation. So I
prefer human supervision over the relocation and explicitly fixing
everything by hand. I'm not necessarily advocating one solution over
the other; my way is more code to maintain if the VDSO linkage changes.
I'm looking for feedback about which way is best.
Also, it appears that COMPAT_VDSO could disappear entirely. Since this
approach should work with older broken ld.so (2.3.2 is the version, I
believe), we should be able to switch over completely to using the gate
vma style of linking the vdso. One can even get the address
randomization benefits by simply running fixup on the vdso if you are
prepared to take the cost of allocating an extra page per process. Or
you could randomize just once at boot, which makes the randomization
per-machine, still sufficient to slow network based worm attacks which
might rely on a fixed VDSO address.
Clearly this patch needs more testing and feedback, which I'm sure it
will get...

P.S. - Eric, I've copied you as you appear to be an ELF expert, or at
least have a greater grasp of Elven Magic than me, and I'm hoping I got
all the dynamic tags which need relocation right.
Invoke black magic to relocate the VDSO even when COMPAT_VDSO is enabled
by fixing up the ELF object.
