H A Dvdso.h30d0b368 Mon Jul 13 15:53:51 CDT 2009 Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> powerpc: Move 64bit VDSO to improve context switch performance

On 64bit applications the VDSO is the only thing in segment 0. Since the VDSO
is position independent we can remove the hint and let get_unmapped_area pick
an area. This will mean the vdso will be near other mmaps and will share
an SLB entry:

On a microbenchmark that bounces a token between two 64bit processes over pipes
and calls gettimeofday each iteration (to access the VDSO), our context switch
rate goes from 268k to 277k ctx switches/sec (tested on a 4GHz POWER6).
