Subject[patch] Fix vdso32 relocation for paddr
Hi,

`readelf -Wl file-dumped-from-/proc/self/maps-[vdso]' for x86_64 process prints:
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align
LOAD 0x000000 0xffffffffff700000 0xffffffffff700000 0x000890 0x000890 R E 0x1000
DYNAMIC 0x000410 0xffffffffff700410 0xffffffffff700410 0x0000f0 0x0000f0 R 0x8

GNU_EH_FRAME 0x00030c 0xffffffffff70030c 0xffffffffff70030c 0x000034 0x000034 R 0x4

while such dump for i386 process prints:
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align
LOAD 0x000000 0xffffe000 0x00000000 0x00434 0x00434 R E 0x1000
DYNAMIC 0x000350 0xffffe350 0x00000350 0x00078 0x00078 R 0x4
NOTE 0x0001c4 0xffffe1c4 0x000001c4 0x00060 0x00060 R 0x4
GNU_EH_FRAME 0x000224 0xffffe224 0x00000224 0x00024 0x00024 R 0x4

The mapped location can be arbirary (according to the rules of PIC - Position
Independent Code) but currently the i386 vdso (vdso32) looks as an overlayed
code as it has LMA != VMA (rule contained in GDB function section_is_overlay,
as suggested by Daniel Jacobowitz).

Fixed vdso32 prints:
Program Headers:
Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align
LOAD 0x000000 0xffffe000 0xffffe000 0x00434 0x00434 R E 0x1000
DYNAMIC 0x000350 0xffffe350 0xffffe350 0x00078 0x00078 R 0x4
NOTE 0x0001c4 0xffffe1c4 0xffffe1c4 0x00060 0x00060 R 0x4
GNU_EH_FRAME 0x000224 0xffffe224 0xffffe224 0x00024 0x00024 R 0x4

It required now a workaround in GDB patch so at least to fix it in Linux kernel:

Thanks,
