Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Documentation/arch/x86: remove obsolete vdso32=2 compatibility note
Date: Sun,  7 Jun 2026 17:16:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260607151614.79567-8-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260607151614.79567-5-thorsten.blum@linux.dev>

Commit b0b49f2673f0 ("x86, vdso: Remove compat vdso support") removed
compat vDSO support and documented vdso32=2 as an alias for vdso32=0.

However, since commit c06989da39cd ("x86/vdso: Ensure vdso32_enabled
gets set to valid values only"), vdso32_setup() accepts only 0 and 1.

Remove the obsolete vdso32=2 compatibility note and document only the
supported values.
