The generic vDSO provides a lot common functionality shared between different architectures. SPARC is the last architecture not using it, preventing some necessary code cleanup. Make use of the generic infrastructure. Follow-up to and replacement for Arnd's SPARC vDSO removal patches: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ SPARC64 can not map .bss into userspace, so the vDSO datapages are switched over to be allocated dynamically. Tested on a Niagara T4 and QEMU. This has emantic conflicts with * "vdso: Reject absolute relocations during build" [0] * "vDSO: Respect COMPAT_32BIT_TIME" [1] But I expect both other serieses to need more discussions.
