From aafade242ff24fac3aabf61c7861dfa44a3c2445 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2011 15:47:10 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] x86-64, vdso: Do not allocate memory for the vDSO We can map the vDSO straight from kernel data, saving a few page allocations. As an added bonus, the deleted code contained a memory leak.
