The Kconfig text for COMPAT_VDSO suggests that glibc versions prior to 2.3.3 may have relied on the fixed address. I can't find anything in the libc revision history to explain that (AFAIK the code always used AT_SYSINFO* since it started using the vDSO at all), but it might have been something less obvious. Someone like Jakub might recall the details. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
