This is the nineth version of a series to switch powerpc VDSO to generic C implementation. Main changes since v8 are: - Dropped the patches which put the VDSO datapage in front of VDSO text in the mapping - Adds a second stack frame because the caller doesn't set one, at least on PPC64 - Saving the TOC pointer on PPC64 (is that really needed ?) This series applies on today's powerpc/merge branch. See the last patches for details on changes and performance.
