It's Andi insistance on this stupid vsyscall interface with fixed addresses. This is absolutely unnecessary. vdsos are so much nicer to handle, need no special code. If somebody would finally be able to replace the vsyscall stuff x86-64 currently uses with a vdso implementation (passing up the address in the auxiliary vector) all would be nice and easy. x86 and ppc already use the vdso, it's not an unproven concept. ppc even uses it in a way which would be needed to implement the fast gettimeofday etc. -- â Ulrich Drepper â Red Hat, Inc. â 444 Castro St â Mountain View, CA â Attachment:
