ah, OK, it got moved from arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-setup.c into
arch/x86/vdso/vma.c.

Maybe you managed to take a fault against the symbol area between the
_install_special_mapping() and the remap_pfn_range() call, but mmap_sem
should prevent that.

Or the remap_pfn_range() call never happened.  Should map_vdso() be
running _install_special_mapping() at all if
image->sym_vvar_page==NULL?
