When linking vdso{32,64}.so.dbg with ld.lld, there is a warning about
not finding _start for the starting address:
ld.lld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
ld.lld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address
Looking at GCC + GNU ld, the entry point address is 0x0:
$ llvm-readelf -h vdso{32,64}.so.dbg &| rg "(File|Entry point address):"
File: vdso32.so.dbg
Entry point address: 0x0
File: vdso64.so.dbg
Entry point address: 0x0
This matches what ld.lld emits:
$ powerpc64le-linux-gnu-readelf -p .comment vdso{32,64}.so.dbg
File: vdso32.so.dbg
String dump of section '.comment':
[ 0] Linker: LLD 14.0.0
[ 14] clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37)
File: vdso64.so.dbg
String dump of section '.comment':
[ 0] Linker: LLD 14.0.0
[ 14] clang version 14.0.0 (Fedora 14.0.0-1.fc37)
$ llvm-readelf -h vdso{32,64}.so.dbg &| rg "(File|Entry point address):"
File: vdso32.so.dbg
Entry point address: 0x0
File: vdso64.so.dbg
Entry point address: 0x0
Remove ENTRY to remove the warning, as it is unnecessary for the vDSO to
function correctly.

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.
