Merge branch 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 vdso fixes from Peter Anvin: "Fixes for x86/vdso. One is a simple build fix for bigendian hosts, one is to make "make vdso_install" work again, and the rest is about working around a bug in Google's Go language -- two are documentation patches that improves the sample code that the Go coders took, modified, and broke; the other two implements a workaround that keeps existing Go binaries from segfaulting at least" * 'x86-vdso-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86/vdso: Fix vdso_install x86/vdso: Hack to keep 64-bit Go programs working x86/vdso: Add PUT_LE to store little-endian values x86/vdso/doc: Make vDSO examples more portable x86/vdso/doc: Rename vdso_test.c to vdso_standalone_test_x86.c x86, vdso: Remove one final use of htole16()
