However for my build kuser32.o content is in .text and there is only
`vdso` symbol in .rodata without `vdso32`. And for defconfig the
CONFIG_KUSER_HELPERS=y is on.

According to your description, it seems something wrong here?

If all 32-bit asm is placed in .rodata it won't cause problem for
objtool check.

Thanks!
