Commit93d73005bf("x86/entry/vdso: Rename vdso_image_* to vdso*_image") updated the vdso .gitignore file with the new filenames, which is certainly not incorrect. However, while adding new generated names is obviously the right thing to do, you should *not* immediately remove the old filenames from the .gitignore file when things move around or get renamed, because people still have those old generated files in their build trees - and they haven't suddenly become valid files to commit to the repository just because they were moved or renamed. While it's mostly just a slight visual nuisance for 'git status' that can be fixed up with a clean build tree, it can become more serious than that: see for example commit04a3389b35("Remove stale generated 'genheaders' file"). That commit removed up a stale generated file that had been carelessly committed by a kernel developer because it wasn't properly ignored any more and thus showed up as a new file in their tree.
