The vdso base address has always been randomized, and I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with the range over which it's randomized, but the implementation seems to have been buggy since the very beginning. This fixes the implementation to remove a large bias that caused a small fraction of possible vdso load addresess to be vastly more likely than the rest of the possible addresses."
