+       * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/uio.h: Declare process_vm_readv and
+       process_vm_writev.
+       * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/syscalls.list: Add process_vm_readv and
+       process_vm_writev.
+       * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Versions: Export process_vm_readv and
+       process_vm_writev from libc using GLIBC_2.15 version.
+
        * nscd/connections.c: Use kernel headers instead of <netlink/netlink.h>.
