[PATCH 17/18] x86 vDSO: reorder vdso32 code

From: Roland McGrath
Date: Mon Nov 19 2007 - 17:11:40 EST



This reorders the code in the 32-bit vDSO images to put the signal
trampolines first and __kernel_vsyscall after them. The order does
not matter to userland, it just uses what AT_SYSINFO or e_entry
says. Since the signal trampolines are the same size in both
versions of the vDSO, putting them first is the simplest way to get
the addresses to line up. This makes it work to use a more compact
layout for the vDSO.
