This is a series to switch powerpc VDSO to generic C implementation. Changes in v12: - Rebased to today's powerpc/merge branch (Conflicts on VDSO Makefiles) - Added missing prototype for __kernel_clock_gettime64() Changes in v11: - Rebased to today's powerpc/merge branch - Prototype of __arch_get_hw_counter() was modified in mainline (patch 2) Changes in v10 are: - Added a comment explaining the reason for the double stack frame - Moved back .cfi_register lr next to mflr Main changes in v9 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.
