[PATCH v5 15/24] arm64: vdso: Enable the vdsocheck tool

Mon Sep 7 23:33:49 PDT 2026


The vdsocheck tool validates the object files and final .so library.
It can detect if the compiler created relocations which are incompatible
with the vDSO which need to be worked around.

Wire it up for the architecture.

The compat vDSO will be handled by the existing 32-bit ARM configuration.
