  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.)
