Hi,
i want ask if there is a change to bring the patch back to tip?
As requested the glibc patch is now available at
http://seibold.net/glibc.patch
Any idea how to bring this patch into glibc? Is the process similar to
the kernel?

Pretty much... contact the glibc maintainers. However, with glibc being a GNU project you will have to sign a copyright transfer.

I got responds from the glibc mailing list:

So till the 32 bit VDSO time functions are not in the vanilla kernel
tree, there is no way to get in the patch into glibc.
