I believe the hardcoded 0x800 and related comments come from the long history VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET in x86 vdso code, but commit5b93049337("x86 vDSO: generate vdso-syms.lds") and commitf6b46ebf90("x86 vDSO: new layout") removes the comment and hard coding for x86. Similar as x86 and other arch, riscv doesn't need the rigid layout using VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET since it "no longer matters to the kernel". so we could remove the hard coding now, and removing it brings a small vdso.so and aligns with other architectures. Also, having enough separation between data and text is important for I-cache, so similar as x86, move .note, .eh_frame_hdr, and .eh_frame between .rodata and .text.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
