[RFC v2 3/7] arm64: Use unsigned long for VDSO

Christopher Covington cov at codeaurora.org
Tue Nov 1 10:10:57 PDT 2016


Use an unsigned long type for the base address of the VDSO in order to be
compatible with the new generic VDSO remap and unmap functions originating
from PowerPC and now also used by 32-bit ARM.
