powerpc/vdso: Fix DOTSYM for 32-bit LE VDSO
Skirmisher reported on IRC that the 32-bit LE VDSO was hanging. This
turned out to be due to a branch to self in eg. __kernel_gettimeofday.
Looking at the disassembly with objdump -dR shows why:
00000528 <__kernel_gettimeofday>:
528: f0 ff 21 94 stwu r1,-16(r1)
52c: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0
530: f0 ff 21 94 stwu r1,-16(r1)
534: 14 00 01 90 stw r0,20(r1)
538: 05 00 9f 42 bcl 20,4*cr7+so,53c <__kernel_gettimeofday+0x14>
53c: a6 02 a8 7c mflr r5
540: ff ff a5 3c addis r5,r5,-1
544: c4 fa a5 38 addi r5,r5,-1340
548: f0 00 a5 38 addi r5,r5,240
54c: 01 00 00 48 bl 54c <__kernel_gettimeofday+0x24>
54c: R_PPC_REL24 .__c_kernel_gettimeofday
Because we don't process relocations for the VDSO, this branch remains
a branch from 0x54c to 0x54c.
With the preceding patch to prohibit R_PPC_REL24 relocations, we
instead get a build failure:
0000054c R_PPC_REL24 .__c_kernel_gettimeofday
00000598 R_PPC_REL24 .__c_kernel_clock_gettime
000005e4 R_PPC_REL24 .__c_kernel_clock_gettime64
00000630 R_PPC_REL24 .__c_kernel_clock_getres
0000067c R_PPC_REL24 .__c_kernel_time
arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso32/vdso32.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported
The root cause is that we're branching to `.__c_kernel_gettimeofday`.
But this is 32-bit LE code, which doesn't use function descriptors, so
there are no dot symbols.
The reason we're trying to branch to a dot symbol is because we're
using the DOTSYM macro, but the ifdefs we use to define the DOTSYM
macro do not currently work for 32-bit LE.
So like previous commits we need to differentiate if the current
compilation unit is 64-bit, rather than the kernel as a whole. ie.
switch from CONFIG_PPC64 to __powerpc64__.
With that fixed 32-bit LE code gets the empty version of DOTSYM, which
just resolves to the original symbol name, leading to a direct branch
and no relocations:
