This patch removes the vsyscall usage for x86_64 port. As indicated by kernel code comments [1], vsyscalls are a legacy ABI and its concept is problematic: - It interferes with ASLR. - It's awkward to write code that lives in kernel addresses but is callable by userspace at fixed addresses. - The whole concept is impossible for 32-bit compat userspace. - UML cannot easily virtualize a vsyscall. The VDSO is a better approach for such functionality. Tested on i686, x86_64, and x32. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday_syscall): Remove vsyscall fallback. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/time.c (__time_syscall): Likewise. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday_syscall): Add syscall fallback function. (gettimeofday_ifunc): Use __gettimeofday_syscall as fallback mechanism if vDSO is not present. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/time.c (__time_syscall): Add syscall fallback function. (time_ifunc): Use __time_syscall as fallback mechanism if vDSO is not present. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/gettimeofday.c: Remove file. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/time.c: Likewise.
