+ * parse_vdso.c: Linux reference vDSO parser
+ * Written by Andrew Lutomirski, 2011-2014.
+ *
+ * This code is meant to be linked in to various programs that run on Linux.
+ * As such, it is available with as few restrictions as possible. This file
+ * is licensed under the Creative Commons Zero License, version 1.0,
+ * available at http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode
+ *
+ * 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. In principle it should work on any
+ * 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.
