Is there any reason to not just always build the vdso with -O2? It's one
page/one VMA either way, and the vdso is about making certain system
calls cheaper, so if unconditional -O2 could save a few cycles compared
to -Os, why not? (And if, as it seems, there's only one user within the
DSO of _restgpr_31_x, yes, the overall size of the .text segment
probably increases slightly).
