On powerpc64, following tests fail locating vDSO functions:
~ # ./vdso_test_abi
TAP version 13
1..16
# [vDSO kselftest] VDSO_VERSION: LINUX_2.6.15
# Couldn't find __kernel_gettimeofday
ok 1 # SKIP __kernel_gettimeofday
# clock_id: CLOCK_REALTIME
# Couldn't find __kernel_clock_gettime
ok 2 # SKIP __kernel_clock_gettime CLOCK_REALTIME
# Couldn't find __kernel_clock_getres
ok 3 # SKIP __kernel_clock_getres CLOCK_REALTIME
...
# Couldn't find __kernel_time
ok 16 # SKIP __kernel_time
# Totals: pass:0 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:16 error:0
~ # ./vdso_test_getrandom
__kernel_getrandom is missing!
~ # ./vdso_test_gettimeofday
Could not find __kernel_gettimeofday
~ # ./vdso_test_getcpu
Could not find __kernel_getcpu
On powerpc64, as shown below by readelf, vDSO functions symbols have
type NOTYPE, so also accept that type when looking for symbols.

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.
