[PATCH] ppc64: Improve mapping of vDSO
This patch reworks the way the ppc64 is mapped in user memory by the kernel to make it more robust against possible collisions with executable segments. Instead of just whacking a VMA at 1Mb, I now use get_unmapped_area() with a hint, and I moved the mapping of the vDSO to after the mapping of the various ELF segments and of the interpreter, so that conflicts get caught properly (it still has to be before create_elf_tables since the later will fill the AT_SYSINFO_EHDR with the proper address). While I was at it, I also changed the 32 and 64 bits vDSO's to link at their "natural" address of 1Mb instead of 0. This is the address where they are normally mapped in absence of conflict. By doing so, it should be possible to properly prelink one it's been verified to work on glibc.
