+The files in ``/proc/sys/abi`` can be used to see and modify
+ABI-related settings.
+
+Currently, these files might (depending on your configuration)
+show up in ``/proc/sys/kernel``:

+.. contents:: :local:
+
+vsyscall32 (x86)
+================
+
+Determines whether the kernels maps a vDSO page into 32-bit processes;
+can be set to 1 to enable, or 0 to disable. Defaults to enabled if
+``CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO`` is set, disabled otherwise.
+
+This controls the same setting as the ``vdso32`` kernel boot
+parameter.
