The vDSO had been broken even before Ingo's commit, but the commit made the .altinstructions section go away from vDSO, which made the bug kind of disappear. I could even argue that the synchronization is not even needed, because this code path gets used rather often, and nobody has complained so far, but that's probably not the point...
