While kernel guarantees backwards compatibility, i.e. helper functions won't suddenly disappear, the internal structure of the '''vDSO''' itself may vary the way it wants, userspace programs won't notice such changes but it brings a huge problem to CRIU. The '''vDSO''' structure is highly coupled with the kernel internals so that if application is migrating to a new kernel release with brand new '''vDSO''' old one (which is still sitting in application memory) strictly speaking is no longer usable, because the new kernel implies new '''vDSO''' internal structure.
