| 6 | * A handful of variables are accessible (read-only) from userspace |
| 7 | * code in the vsyscall page and the vdso. They are declared here. |
| 8 | * Some other file must define them with DEFINE_VVAR. |
| 9 | * |
| 10 | * In normal kernel code, they are used like any other variable. |
| 11 | * In user code, they are accessed through the VVAR macro. |
| 12 | * |
| 13 | * Each of these variables lives in the vsyscall page, and each |
| 14 | * one needs a unique offset within the little piece of the page |
| 15 | * reserved for vvars. Specify that offset in DECLARE_VVAR. |
| 16 | * (There are 896 bytes available. If you mess up, the linker will |
| 17 | * catch it.) |
