1 | 7 | On some architectures, when the kernel loads any userspace program it |
---|
2 | 8 | maps an ELF DSO into that program's address space. This DSO is called |
---|
3 | 9 | the vDSO and it often contains useful and highly-optimized alternatives |
---|
.. | .. |
---|
23 | 29 | ABI of those symbols is considered stable. It may vary across architectures, |
---|
24 | 30 | though. |
