Merge branch 'x86/vdso' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip into next

Pull x86 cdso updates from Peter Anvin:
 "Vdso cleanups and improvements largely from Andy Lutomirski.  This
  makes the vdso a lot less ''special''"

* 'x86/vdso' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  x86/vdso, build: Make LE access macros clearer, host-safe
  x86/vdso, build: Fix cross-compilation from big-endian architectures
  x86/vdso, build: When vdso2c fails, unlink the output
  x86, vdso: Fix an OOPS accessing the HPET mapping w/o an HPET
  x86, mm: Replace arch_vma_name with vm_ops->name for vsyscalls
  x86, mm: Improve _install_special_mapping and fix x86 vdso naming
  mm, fs: Add vm_ops->name as an alternative to arch_vma_name
  x86, vdso: Fix an OOPS accessing the HPET mapping w/o an HPET
  x86, vdso: Remove vestiges of VDSO_PRELINK and some outdated comments
  x86, vdso: Move the vvar and hpet mappings next to the 64-bit vDSO
  x86, vdso: Move the 32-bit vdso special pages after the text
  x86, vdso: Reimplement vdso.so preparation in build-time C
  x86, vdso: Move syscall and sysenter setup into kernel/cpu/common.c
  x86, vdso: Clean up 32-bit vs 64-bit vdso params
  x86, mm: Ensure correct alignment of the fixmap
