Subject[PATCH 0/3] vDSO reference parser updates and Go workaround
Date
Patches 1 and 2 update the vDSO reference parser.

Despite the late submission, this might be 3.16 material: it's just
documentation. If I'd been more on top of this, I would have done it
for 3.15. It's also probably worthwhile given that there is at least
one rather buggy vDSO parser in the wild.

Patch 3 makes "Hello world" as built by Go stop segfaulting. It's
a performance regression for Go programs: it causes them to stop
finding any symbols in the vDSO, but that's a lot better than
segfaulting. It has big-endian issues, though, and it's ugly,
and it should probably be disabled for x32.
