| 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 | * These variables live in a page of kernel data that has an extra RO |
| 14 | * mapping for userspace. Each variable needs a unique offset within |
| 15 | * that page; specify that offset with the DECLARE_VVAR macro. (If |
| 16 | * you mess up, the linker will catch it.) |
