* vvar.h: Shared vDSO/kernel variable declarations

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