This file exists since: commit f1c2bb8b9964ed31de988910f8b1cfb586d30091 Author: Richard Weinberger Date: Mon Jul 25 17:12:54 2011 -0700 um: implement a x86_64 vDSO So, I think you are the right person to reach out to. Originally, vdso-syms.lds was linked to vmlinux, but it is not since: commit 827880ec260ba048f95fe646b96a205c394fa0f0 Author: Nicholas Piggin Date: Fri Jun 9 15:24:16 2017 +1000 x86/um: thin archives build fix Something may be missing from my thought, but I wonder what vdso-syms.lds is used for. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
