linux-next/Documentation/vDSO/parse_vdso.c
Andy Lutomirski 98eedc3a9d Document the vDSO and add a reference parser
It turns out that parsing the vDSO is nontrivial if you don't already
have an ELF dynamic loader around.  So document it in Documentation/ABI
and add a reference CC0-licenced parser.

This code is dedicated to Go issue 1933:

* parse_vdso.c: Linux reference vDSO parser

*
* The vDSO is a regular ELF DSO that the kernel maps into user space when
* it starts a program. It works equally well in statically and dynamically
* linked binaries.
*
* This code is tested on x86_64. In principle it should work on any 64-bit
* architecture that has a vDSO.

/*
* To use this vDSO parser, first call one of the vdso_init_* functions.
* If you've already parsed auxv, then pass the value of AT_SYSINFO_EHDR
* to vdso_init_from_sysinfo_ehdr. Otherwise pass auxv to vdso_init_from_auxv.
* Then call vdso_sym for each symbol you want. For example, to look up
* gettimeofday on x86_64, use:
*
* <some pointer> = vdso_sym("LINUX_2.6", "gettimeofday");
* or
* <some pointer> = vdso_sym("LINUX_2.6", "__vdso_gettimeofday");
*
* vdso_sym will return 0 if the symbol doesn't exist or if the init function
* failed or was not called. vdso_sym is a little slow, so its return value
* should be cached.
*
* vdso_sym is threadsafe; the init functions are not.
*
* These are the prototypes:
