Any change to the vDSO is fine if (and this is a hard requirement) the changes do not make the vDSO position dependent. We definitely need the vDSO address to be randomized. It's OK for now to have a fixed address but fixing the vDSO text for every program start is not acceptable. This is how we arrived at the current model.
