Subject: [PATCH v3 06/10] x86-64: Remove vsyscall number 3 (venosys)
Date: Tue, 31 May 2011 09:16:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <07002dbeb9f330619666b1c6bb54fa62cd2ee96e.1306847455.git.luto@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1306847455.git.luto@mit.edu>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1306847455.git.luto@mit.edu>

It just segfaults since April 2008 (a4928cff), so I'm pretty sure
that nothing uses it.  And having an empty section makes the linker
script a bit fragile.
