   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.)
