From d2eea68e7db759ce67807b42b7407236cccfde71 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roland McGrath Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2007 00:31:43 -0700 Subject: xen: disable vdso "nosegneg" on native boot One of the nice ideas behind paravirt is that CONFIG_XEN=y can be included in a standard configuration and be no worse for native booting than as a Xen guest. The glibc feature that supports the vDSO "nosegneg" note is designed specifically to make this easy. You just have to flip one bit at boot time. This patch makes Xen flip the bit, so a CONFIG_XEN=y kernel on bare hardware does not make glibc use the less-optimized library builds.
