That would be great, Mike. I added Andy to the CC since he might be willing to review or help (his name is attached to the reference VDSO parser in the kernels source, so I'm guessing he's familiar with at least a few architectures w.r.t. VDSO.) > in order to be useful, i think there will have to be arch-specific sections > which document the funcs each port provides. Sure, though I think just getting x86 and perhaps ARM for a start would be great. Just to give you a picture, I'd be hoping for a short overview of the VDSO and its purpose and brief lists of entry points for each of the architectures you decided to cover.
