On vsyscalls and the vDSO
On i386, randomizing the address of the vDSO slows down the loading of prelinked shared libraries. Even /bin/cat, which uses just /lib/libc.so, suffers on 7% of invocations. Large GUI executables with many shared libraries suffer 60% of the time or more. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=162797#c4
