[PATCH] powerpc: vdso 64bits gettimeofday bug

Browse Source 
A bug in the assembly code of the vdso can cause gettimeofday() to hang
or to return incorrect results. The wrong register was used to test for
pending updates of the calibration variables and to create a dependency
for subsequent loads. This fixes it.
