2019-06-22	lib/vdso: Provide generic VDSO implementation	Vincenzo Frascino	1	-0/+56
	In the last few years the kernel gained quite some architecture specific vdso implementations which contain very similar code. Introduce a generic VDSO implementation of gettimeofday() which will be shareable between architectures once they are converted over. The implementation is based on the current x86 VDSO code.
