[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 0/6] Collected vdso/vsyscall fixes for 3.1

[Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxx>]

This fixes various problems that cropped up with the vdso patches.

 - Patch 1 fixes an information leak to userspace.
 - Patches 2 and 3 fix the kernel build on gold.
 - Patches 4 and 5 fix Xen (I hope).
 - Patch 6 (optional) adds a trace event to vsyscall emulation.  It will
   make it easier to handle performance regression reports :)
