Subject: lib/vdso: use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8ac3b5cd3e0521d92f9755e90d140382fc292510 upstream.
The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
fix this up by moving the vdso Makefile to use "grep -E" instead.
