2014-07-17	arm64: vdso: move data page before code pages	Will Deacon	1	-3/+1
	Andy pointed out that binutils generates additional sections in the vdso image (e.g. section string table) which, if our .text section gets big enough, could cross a page boundary and end up screwing up the location where the kernel expects to put the data page. This patch solves the issue in the same manner as x86_32, by moving the data page before the code pages.

2012-09-17	arm64: VDSO support	Will Deacon	1	-0/+100
	This patch adds VDSO support for 64-bit applications. The VDSO code is currently used for sys_rt_sigreturn() and optimised gettimeofday() (using the user-accessible generic counter).
