6a407a81a9 Documentation/vDSO: don't build tests when cross compiling
The following was seen in linux-next build coverage, which is somewhat
unique since it uses powerpc host to cross compile x86:

Documentation/vDSO/vdso_standalone_test_x86.c:49:2: error: impossible
register constraint in 'asm'
make[4]: *** [Documentation/vDSO/vdso_standalone_test_x86.o] Error 1

It probably makes sense to just skip building these tests when
we are cross compiling.

1679689231 vdso: don't require 64-bit math in standalone test
The use of 64-bit math on i386 causes build failures:
vdso_standalone_test_x86.c:(.text+0x101): undefined reference to `__umoddi3'
vdso_standalone_test_x86.c:(.text+0x12d): undefined reference to `__udivdi3'

Commit adb19fb66e (Documentation: add makefiles for more targets) is
now building this by default, so it's failing the kernel build entirely.

Switching the declaration from uint64_t to time_t does the right thing
and handles the x32 case automatically.

25b91ac204 Documentation: disable vdso_test to avoid breakage with old glibc
glibc versions older than 2.16 don't include sys/auxv.h which this
executable uses.
Since we don't have a good way to test for specific glibc versions in
kbuild, just disable it for now.

4ebbefd6b9 x86/vdso/doc: Make vDSO examples more portable
This adds a new vdso_test.c that's written entirely in C.  It also
makes all of the vDSO examples work on 32-bit x86.

6e8f21584a x86/vdso/doc: Rename vdso_test.c to vdso_standalone_test_x86.c
This thing is hopelessly x86_64-specific: it's an example of how to
access the vDSO without any runtime support at all.

98eedc3a9d Document the vDSO and add a reference parser
It turns out that parsing the vDSO is nontrivial if you don't already
have an ELF dynamic loader around.  So document it in Documentation/ABI
and add a reference CC0-licenced parser.
