Currently they don't get offered COMPAT_VDSO if PARAVIRT is enabled, but we *still* disable vdso in that case (unless vdso=1 is on cmdline). I think the best choice is to rework COMPAT_VDSO to a general "support old glibcs" option, which will either (1) map it fixed if ! CONFIG_PARAVIRT, or (2) disable it if CONFIG_PARAVIRT. I'll send that soon... Cheers, Rusty.
