da2e9e1ff4 [PATCH] Mark unwind info for signal trampolines in vDSOs
Mark unwind info for signal trampolines using the new S augmentation flag
introduced in: http://gcc.gnu.org/PR26208.

GCC 4.2 (or patched earlier GCC) will be able to special case unwinding
through frames right above signal trampolines.  As the augmentations start
with z flag and S is at the very end of the augmentation string, older GCCs
will just skip the S flag as unknown (that's why an augmentation flag was
chosen over say a new CFA opcode).

5d66da3d71 [PATCH] powerpc: Make the vDSO functions set error code (#2)
The vDSO functions should have the same calling convention as a syscall.
Unfortunately, they currently don't set the cr0.so bit which is used to
indicate an error. This patch makes them clear this bit unconditionally
since all functions currently succeed. The syscall fallback done by some
of them will eventually override this if the syscall fails.

This also changes the symbol version of all vdso exports to make sure
glibc can differenciate between old and fixed calls for existing ones
like __kernel_gettimeofday.

0c37ec2aa8 [PATCH] powerpc: vdso fixes (take #2)
This fixes various errors in the new functions added in the vDSO's,
I've now verified all functions on both 32 and 64 bits vDSOs. It also
fix a sign extension bug getting the initial time of day at boot that
could cause the monotonic clock value to be completely on bogus for
64 bits applications (with either the vDSO or the syscall) on
powermacs.

271c3f35bd powerpc: Fix some compile problems with the VDSO stuff
We needed the VDSO symbols in the arch/ppc asm-offsets.c, and there
were a few usages of _systemcfg still left lying around.

a7f290dad3 [PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel
This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.

Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.

I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.
