- native Vsyscalls are native syscall instructions. - This is a little bit faster than trapping - and makes a few dynamic recompilers work - better than they would in emulation mode. - It also makes exploits much easier to write. - none Vsyscalls don't work at all. This makes them quite hard to use for exploits but might break your system.
