<title>powerpc/vdso: augment VDSO32 functions to support 64 bits build</title>

VDSO64 cacheflush.S datapage.S gettimeofday.S and vgettimeofday.c
are very similar to their VDSO32 counterpart.

VDSO32 counterpart is already more complete than the VDSO64 version
as it supports both PPC32 vdso and 32 bits VDSO for PPC64.

Use compat macros wherever necessary in PPC32 files
so that they can also be used to build VDSO64.

vdso64/note.S is already a link to vdso32/note.S so
no change is required.

__get_datapage() is only a few instructions to retrieve the
address of the page where the kernel stores data to the VDSO.

By inlining this function into its users, a bl/blr pair and
a mflr/mtlr pair is avoided, plus a few reg moves.

The improvement is noticeable (about 55 nsec/call on an 8xx)

vdsotest before the patch:
gettimeofday:    vdso: 731 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 668 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 745 nsec/call

vdsotest after the patch:
gettimeofday:    vdso: 677 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 613 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 690 nsec/call

The current VDSO implementation is hardcoded to 128 byte cache blocks,
which are only used on IBM's 64-bit processors.

Convert it to get the cache block sizes out of vdso_data instead,
similar to how the ppc64 in-kernel cache flush does it.

<title>[PATCH] powerpc: Make the vDSO functions set error code (#2)</title>

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.
