Let's go back to the implementation of the `map_vsyscall` function and return to the implementation of the `__vsyscall_page`, later. After we receiving the physical address of the `__vsyscall_page`, we check the value of the `vsyscall_mode` variable and set the [fix-mapped](http://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content/mm/linux-mm-2.html) address for the `vsyscall` page with the `__set_fixmap` macro:

The `map_vdso` function is defined in the same source code file and maps pages for the `vDSO` and for the shared `vDSO` variables. That's all. The main differences between the `vsyscall` and the `vDSO` concepts is that `vsyscal` has a static address of `ffffffffff600000` and implements `3` system calls, whereas the `vDSO` loads dynamically and implements four system calls:
