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