I didn't realize/remember that arm64 retained the kernel build flags for
vDSO builds. (I'm used to x86 throwing all its flags away for its vDSO.)
How does 32-bit ARM do its vDSO?
My quick run-through on plugins:
arm_ssp_per_task_plugin.c
32-bit ARM only (but likely needs disabling for 32-bit ARM vDSO?)
cyc_complexity_plugin.c
compile-time reporting only
latent_entropy_plugin.c
this shouldn't get triggered for the vDSO (no __latent_entropy
nor __init attributes in vDSO), but perhaps explicitly disabling
it would be a sensible thing to do, just for robustness?
randomize_layout_plugin.c
this shouldn't get triggered (again, lacking attributes), but
should likely be disabled too.
sancov_plugin.c
This should be tracking the KCOV directly (see
scripts/Makefile.kcov), which is already disabled here.
structleak_plugin.c
This should be fine in the vDSO, but there's not security
boundary here, so it wouldn't be important to KEEP it enabled.
