The changelog of the commit below explains that.

commit 1dbf527c51c6c20c19869c8125cb5b87c3d09506

    [PATCH] i386: Make COMPAT_VDSO runtime selectable.

    Now that relocation of the VDSO for COMPAT_VDSO users is done at
    runtime rather than compile time, it is possible to enable/disable
    compat mode at runtime.

    This patch allows you to enable COMPAT_VDSO mode with "vdso=2" on the
    kernel command line, or via sysctl.  (Switching on a running system
    shouldn't be done lightly; any process which was relying on the compat
    VDSO will be upset if it goes away.)

    The COMPAT_VDSO config option still exists, but if enabled it just
    makes vdso_enabled default to VDSO_COMPAT.
