   # HEAD: 7aeb1538be5df3efa1d799e5428ac3a0ae802293 vdso: Reject absolute relocations during build

Misc fixes:

 - Fix time keeping bugs in CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE clocks

 - Work around and reject absolute relocations into vDSO code that
   GCC erroneously emits in certain arm64 build environments

 Thanks,

	Ingo
