[PATCH v3 00/15] linux-user: Implement VDSOs

[Richard Henderson]

It's time for another round on implementing the VDSO for linux-user.
We are now seeing applications built that absolutely require it, 
and have no fallback for the VDSO to be absent.

For instance,

  https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1267

uses musl and will currently branch to NULL executing the mmap
syscall, because the __kernel_vsyscall symbol is not found.

This is just a rebase of v2 from 2021:

  https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-07/msg01311.html

and does nothing to address the cross-compilation issues.

I am more hopful that cross-compilation can be solved now, due
to the work on Native Library Calls:

  20230808141739.3110740-1-fufuyqqqqqq@gmail.com/">https://patchew.org/QEMU/20230808141739.3110740-1-fufuyqqqqqq@gmail.com/

But frankly, even with cross-compilation enabled there will be
hosts which do not have the cross-compilers and I believe we will
still have to check the binaries into the repository.  As they are
all on the order of 5 to 6k, I really do not see this as a problem.

PS: This patch set is now 13 years old:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2013-07/msg04036.html

Let's see if we can get this resolved before it can vote.
