Greg Kroah-Hartman 8ac3b5cd3e lib/vdso: use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"
The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:
	egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
fix this up by moving the vdso Makefile to use "grep -E" instead.

Vincenzo Frascino 00b26474c2 lib/vdso: Provide generic VDSO implementation
In the last few years the kernel gained quite some architecture specific
vdso implementations which contain very similar code.

Introduce a generic VDSO implementation of gettimeofday() which will be
shareable between architectures once they are converted over.

The implementation is based on the current x86 VDSO code.
