The VDSO exports a bitmap of valid syscalls. vdso_setup_syscall_map() sets this up, but there are both little and big endian bugs. The issue is with:
if (sys_call_table[i] != sys_ni_syscall) On little endian, instead of comparing pointers to the two functions, we compare the first two instructions of each function. If a function happens to have the same first two instructions as sys_ni_syscall, then we have a spurious match and mark the instruction as not implemented. Fix this by removing the inline declarations. On big endian we have a further issue where sys_ni_syscall is a function descriptor and sys_call_table[] holds pointers to the instruction text. Fix this by using dereference_kernel_function_descriptor().
