+ ---help---
+ This enables emulation of the legacy vsyscall page. Disabling
+ it is roughly equivalent to booting with vsyscall=none, except
+ that it will also disable the helpful warning if a program
+ tries to use a vsyscall. With this option set to N, offending
+ programs will just segfault, citing addresses of the form
+ 0xffffffffff600?00.
+
+ This option is required by many programs built before 2013, and
+ care should be used even with newer programs if set to N.
+
+ Disabling this option saves about 7K of kernel size and
+ possibly 4K of additional runtime pagetable memory.
