linux.git/Documentation/vDSO, branch v3.17 Linux kernel source tree x86/vdso/doc: Make vDSO examples more portable 2014-06-13T02:01:24+00:00 Andy Lutomirski luto@amacapital.net 2014-06-13T00:53:10+00:00 4ebbefd6b93c34d6da0d950b1d2e0dcca2f1e6ef This adds a new vdso_test.c that's written entirely in C. It also makes all of the vDSO examples work on 32-bit x86.

x86/vdso/doc: Rename vdso_test.c to vdso_standalone_test_x86.c 2014-06-13T02:01:16+00:00 Andy Lutomirski luto@amacapital.net 2014-06-13T00:53:09+00:00 6e8f21584a30ba6ce73cfef34f316d5bf3fadaab This thing is hopelessly x86_64-specific: it's an example of how to access the vDSO without any runtime support at all.

Document the vDSO and add a reference parser 2011-07-15T00:57:09+00:00 Andy Lutomirski luto@mit.edu 2011-07-13T13:24:16+00:00 98eedc3a9dbf90cecb91093d2a7fa083942b7d13 It turns out that parsing the vDSO is nontrivial if you don't already have an ELF dynamic loader around. So document it in Documentation/ABI and add a reference CC0-licenced parser.
