Stefani Seibold	7c03156f34	x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 64 bit kernel ... This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer. Due the nature of the kernel headers and the LP64 compiler where the size of a long and a pointer differs against a 32 bit compiler, there is some type hacking necessary for optimal performance. The vsyscall_gtod_data struture must be a rearranged to serve 32- and 64-bit code access at the same time: - The seqcount_t was replaced by an unsigned, this makes the vsyscall_gtod_data intedepend of kernel configuration and internal functions. - All kernel internal structures are replaced by fix size elements which works for 32- and 64-bit access - The inner struct clock was removed to pack the whole struct. The "unsigned seq" would be handled by functions derivated from seqcount_t.

Stefani Seibold	7a59ed415f	x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 32 bit kernel ... This patch add the time support for 32 bit a VDSO to a 32 bit kernel. For 32 bit programs running on a 32 bit kernel, the same mechanism is used as for 64 bit programs running on a 64 bit kernel.
