The current DWARF info for CR are incorrect, causing the gcc unwinder to
go to lunch if we take a segfault in the vdso. This fixes it.
Problem identified by Andrew Haley, and fix provided by Jakub Jelinek
(thanks !).
Unfortunately, a bug in gcc cause it to not quite work either, but that
is being fixed separately with something around the lines of:
linux-unwind.h:
fs->regs.reg[R_CR2].loc.offset = (long) ®s->ccr - new_cfa;
+ /* CR? regs are just 32-bit and PPC is big-endian. */
+ fs->regs.reg[R_CR2].loc.offset += sizeof (long) - 4;

Mark unwind info for signal trampolines using the new S augmentation flag
introduced in: http://gcc.gnu.org/PR26208.
GCC 4.2 (or patched earlier GCC) will be able to special case unwinding
through frames right above signal trampolines. As the augmentations start
with z flag and S is at the very end of the augmentation string, older GCCs
will just skip the S flag as unknown (that's why an augmentation flag was
chosen over say a new CFA opcode).

This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32
bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds
some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with
support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same
clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency.
Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits
returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever
add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't
have to change.
I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and
ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a
64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was
tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions.
