6  * A handful of variables are accessible (read-only) from userspace
7  * code in the vsyscall page and the vdso.  They are declared here.
8  * Some other file must define them with DEFINE_VVAR.
9  *
10  * In normal kernel code, they are used like any other variable.
11  * In user code, they are accessed through the VVAR macro.
12  *
13  * These variables live in a page of kernel data that has an extra RO
14  * mapping for userspace.  Each variable needs a unique offset within
15  * that page; specify that offset with the DECLARE_VVAR macro.  (If
16  * you mess up, the linker will catch it.)
