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.) 17 */ 18 19 #ifndef _ASM_X86_VVAR_H 20 #define _ASM_X86_VVAR_H 21 22 #if defined(__VVAR_KERNEL_LDS) 23 24 /* The kernel linker script defines its own magic to put vvars in the 25 * right place. 26 */ 27 #define DECLARE_VVAR(offset, type, name) \ 28 EMIT_VVAR(name, offset) 29 30 #else 31 32 #ifdef BUILD_VDSO32 33 34 #define DECLARE_VVAR(offset, type, name) \ 35 extern type vvar_ ## name __attribute__((visibility("hidden"))); 36 37 #define VVAR(name) (vvar_ ## name) 38 39 #else 40 41 extern char __vvar_page; 42 43 /* Base address of vvars.
