I'm really not a fan of making the code less idiomatic...

Ok, I have another idea, let's give it a try.

An easy solution would be to define PAGE_SIZE and PAGE_MASK in vDSO
when they do not exist already, but this can be misleading.

Why would what tglx and I suggested be misleading? That seems pretty
normal... Are you worried they might mismatch somehow? (If so, why?)

All architectures have their own definition, they are all based on 
CONFIG_PAGE_SHIFT and should give the same value but with some 
subtleties. The best would be to have an asm-generic definition of 
PAGE_SIZE and PAGE_MASK that all architectures use, but that's another 
level of work.

tglx or yourself suggested to put in a one of the vdso headers instead 
of directly in getrandom.c. This is too fragile because PAGE_SIZE might 
be absent in that header but arrive in getrandom.c through another header.
