I'm a novice when it comes to vDSO, so someone please correct me if I'm
wrong.
From what I read vDSO is a library in the sense that it exports ELF
symbols that applications and other libraries (libc in particular) can
use, but it is not a file on disk.
As such, which rootfs you use shouldn't matter, since the vDSO is not in
the rootfs. Instead, it is contained in the kernel image. Searching for
"linux-vdso.so.1" on packages.debian.org indeed returns no hits.
There is a check in arch/mips/vdso/Makefile that disables vDSO on MIPS
when building the kernel with binutils < 2.25. I don't know if that is
in any way related to this issue.
Bye,
Maarten
