I did sudo cat /proc/1/maps -vv

I am attempting to make sense of the output.I can see a lot of shared libraries being mapped to the memory mapping segment as expected.

7f3c00137000-7f3c00179000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 21233923                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.5.87f3c00179000-7f3c00379000 ---p 00042000 08:01 21233923                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.5.87f3c00379000-7f3c0037a000 r--p 00042000 08:01 21233923                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.5.87f3c0037a000-7f3c0037b000 rw-p 00043000 08:01 21233923                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdbus-1.so.3.5.87f3c0037b000-7f3c00383000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 21237216                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnih-dbus.so.1.0.07f3c00383000-7f3c00583000 ---p 00008000 08:01 21237216                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnih-dbus.so.1.0.07f3c00583000-7f3c00584000 r--p 00008000 08:01 21237216                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnih-dbus.so.1.0.07f3c00584000-7f3c00585000 rw-p 00009000 08:01 21237216                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnih-dbus.so.1.0.07f3c00585000-7f3c0059b000 r-xp 00000000 08:01 21237220                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnih.so.1.0.07f3c0059b000-7f3c0079b000 ---p 00016000 08:01 21237220                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnih.so.1.0.07f3c0079b000-7f3c0079c000 r--p 00016000 08:01 21237220                   /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnih.so.1.0.0

Towards the end there is something like

7f3c0165b000-7f3c0177e000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [heap]7fff97863000-7fff97884000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0                          [stack]7fff97945000-7fff97946000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0                          [vdso]ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0                  [vsyscall]

What does vdso and vsyscall mean? is vsyscall the kernel portion of the memory? It would be great if anyone can throw some light on the issue.
