This is v2. I'm resending it because the fallout from the 3.16 changes seems to have settled down, and because arm is about to run in to the same problem that I ran in to, which is fixed in the big cross-arch patch.
Patch 1 fixes a minor bug; it might make sense to backport it. Patch 3 removes the vsyscall mapping when vsyscall=none. Patch 4 and 5 remove some unnecessary vvars. gtod is the only one left now. Patch 9 is a big cross-arch cleanup. The old code was supposedly generic, but it was only useful for ia64, and it was actively harmful for lots of other architectures. Patch 10 makes vsyscall emulation optional. It's hidden under CONFIG_EXPERT. If this should be split or reordered, please let me know. NB: I wouldn't be surprised if Nathan Lynch ends up wanting patch 9 for ARM's upcoming vdso, so it would be nice to get at least that patch into an upstream-pointing git tree somewhere. I'm not sure what the appropriate tree is. Changes from v1: - Rebased to 3.16-rc3. - The last patch is new.
