From bb5fe2f78eadf5a52d8dcbf9a57728fd107af97b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Sun, 5 Jun 2011 13:50:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] x86-64: Remove vsyscall number 3 (venosys) It just segfaults since April 2008 (a4928cff), so I'm pretty sure that nothing uses it. And having an empty section makes the linker script a bit fragile.
