_vdso_data is specific to x86 and __arch_get_k_vdso_data() is provided so that all architectures can provide the requested pointer. Do the same with _vdso_rng_data, provide __arch_get_k_vdso_rng_data() and don't use x86 _vdso_rng_data directly. Until now vdso/vsyscall.h was only included by time/vsyscall.c but now it will also be included in char/random.c, leading to a duplicate declaration of _vdso_data and _vdso_rng_data. To fix this issue, move the declaration in a C file. vma.c looks like the most appropriate candidate. We don't need to replace the definitions in vsyscall.h by declarations as declarations are already in asm/vvar.h. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Signed-off-by: Jason A.

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 reStructuredText 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.
