The original 2005 patch that introduced the powerpc vdso, pre-git
("ppc64: Implement a vDSO and use it for signal trampoline") notes that:
... symbols exposed by the vDSO aren't "normal" function symbols, apps
can't be expected to link against them directly, the vDSO's are both
seen as if they were linked at 0 and the symbols just contain offsets
to the various functions. This is done on purpose to avoid a
relocation step (ppc64 functions normally have descriptors with abs
addresses in them). When glibc uses those functions, it's expected to
use it's own trampolines that know how to reach them.
Despite that explanation, there remains dead #ifdef
VDS64_HAS_DESCRIPTORS code-blocks that provide alternate function
definitions that setup function descriptors.
Since VDS64_HAS_DESCRIPTORS has been unused for all these years, we
might as well finally remove it from the codebase.

README
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.
