ah, OK, it got moved from arch/x86/vdso/vdso32-setup.c into arch/x86/vdso/vma.c.
Maybe you managed to take a fault against the symbol area between the _install_special_mapping() and the remap_pfn_range() call, but mmap_sem should prevent that.
Or the remap_pfn_range() call never happened. Should map_vdso() be running _install_special_mapping() at all if image->sym_vvar_page==NULL?
