For testing the functionality of the vDSO, it is necessary to build
userspace programs for multiple different architectures.
It is additional work to acquire matching userspace cross-compilers with
full C libraries and then building root images out of those.
The kernel tree already contains nolibc, a small, header-only C library.
By using it, it is possible to build userspace programs without any
additional dependencies.
For example the kernel.org crosstools or multi-target clang can be used
to build test programs for a multitude of architectures.
While nolibc is very limited, it is enough for many selftests.
With some minor adjustments it is possible to make parse_vdso.c
compatible with nolibc.
As an example, vdso_standalone_test_x86 is now built from the same C
code as the regular vdso_test_gettimeofday, while still being completely
standalone.

This should probably go through the kselftest tree.
