- * Hack to keep broken Go programs working.
- *
- * The Go runtime had a couple of bugs: it would read the section table to try
- * to figure out how many dynamic symbols there were (it shouldn't have looked
- * at the section table at all) and, if there were no SHT_SYNDYM section table
- * entry, it would use an uninitialized value for the number of symbols.  As a
- * workaround, we supply a minimal section table.  vdso2c will adjust the
- * in-memory image so that "vdso_fake_sections" becomes the section table.
- *
- * The bug was introduced by:
- * https://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=56ea40aac72b (2012-08-31)
- * and is being addressed in the Go runtime in this issue:
- * https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=8197
+ * String table for loadable section headers.  See vdso2c.h for why
+ * this exists.
