Booting with vsyscall=xonly results in the following vsyscall VMA: ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 --xp ... [vsyscall] Test does read from fixed vsyscall address to determine if kernel supports vsyscall page but it doesn't work because, well, vsyscall page is execute only. Fix test by trying to execute from the first byte of the page which contains gettimeofday() stub. This should work because vsyscall entry points have stable addresses by design. Alexey, avoiding parsing .config, /proc/config.gz and /proc/cmdline at all costs.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
