+ * To use this vDSO parser, first call one of the vdso_init_* functions.
+ * If you've already parsed auxv, then pass the value of AT_SYSINFO_EHDR
+ * to vdso_init_from_sysinfo_ehdr. Otherwise pass auxv to vdso_init_from_auxv.
+ * Then call vdso_sym for each symbol you want. For example, to look up
+ * gettimeofday on x86_64, use:
+ *
+ * <some pointer> = vdso_sym("LINUX_2.6", "gettimeofday");
+ * or
+ * <some pointer> = vdso_sym("LINUX_2.6", "__vdso_gettimeofday");
+ *
+ * vdso_sym will return 0 if the symbol doesn't exist or if the init function
+ * failed or was not called. vdso_sym is a little slow, so its return value
+ * should be cached.
+ *
+ * vdso_sym is threadsafe; the init functions are not.
+ *
+ * These are the prototypes:
