[PATCH v4] ARM: vDSO gettimeofday using generic timer architecture

Hi Nathan,

I gave this a try against a 3.10 system and ran into issues when
vdso.so grew to two pages because of of a large .GCC.command.line
section.  __get_datapage was returning an address that was at the
beginning of the second code page instead of the data page since it
didn't account for the additional section.  I got it working by adding
.GCC.command.line to the DISCARD group in the linker script, but in
general it feels as if this code is a bit fragile since it depends on
knowing exactly which sections exist in the .so for the _vdso_data
symbol to be correct.

Cheers,
David
