Would you or someone be able to post a summary of the discussion? Last
I know from discussions at Cauldron, I am responsible for working on
fixing IFUNC related issues that prevent us from doing anything useful
in an ifunc, including accessing vdso. It is on my list of things to do
right after tunables.
Also, FWIW we can use tunables to work around this until the ifunc
mechanism is in place. H. J. Lu is looking to do something similar,
except as an override for x86 so we don't need any additional work on
top of his work. The only requirement is for tunables to be initialized
early enough, which it does.
