I find it really helps (performance wise) to strip down that magic to the bare minimum required. A VDSO helper would always have to do everything. I suppose we could provide a generic helper, one can always hand code the stuff anyhow. Then again, what is the benefit of having it in the VDSO as opposed to a regular DSO? Updating the docs is always good. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
