This confuses me. Why are you adding code to the !__powerpc64__ branch
in this commit? (Also, why does stmw not work on LE?)

That's for the VDSO32 ie running 32 bits binaries on a 64 bits kernel.

"Programming Environments Manual for 32-Bit Implementations of the
PowerPC™ Architecture" say: In some implementations operating with
little-endian byte order, execution of an lmw or stmw instruction
causes the system alignment error handler to be invoked

And GCC doesn't like it either:

tools/arch/powerpc/vdso/vgetrandom-chacha.S:84: Error: `stmw' invalid
when little-endian

Does it make sense to do all the 32-bit stuff in the PPC32 commit (and
then you can introduce the selftests there without the error you
mentioned), and then add the 64-bit stuff in this commit?

Can do that, but there will still be a problem with chacha selftests if I don't opt-out the entire function content when it is ppc64. It will build properly but if someone runs it on a ppc64 it will likely crash because only the low 32 bits of registers will be saved.

That's the reason why I really prefered the approach where I set something in vdso_config.h so that the assembly is used only for powerpc32 and when building powerpc64 the assembly part is kept out and vdso_test_chacha simply tells it is not supported.
