[PATCH] powerpc/vdso: Fix build of VDSO32 with pcrel

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2025-05-12 18:20:33

Building vdso32 on power10 with pcrel leads to following errors:

	  VDSO32A arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday-32.o
	arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S: Assembler messages:
	arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:40: Error: syntax error; found `@', expected `,'
	arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:71:  Info: macro invoked from here
	arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:40: Error: junk at end of line: `@notoc'
	arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S:71:  Info: macro invoked from here
	 ...
	make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile:85: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday-32.o] Error 1
	make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/Makefile:388: vdso_prepare] Error 2

Once the above is fixed, the following happens:

	  VDSO32C arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday-32.o
	cc1: error: '-mpcrel' requires '-mcmodel=medium'
	make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile:89: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday-32.o] Error 1
	make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/Makefile:388: vdso_prepare] Error 2
	make: *** [Makefile:251: __sub-make] Error 2

Make sure pcrel version of CFUNC() macro is used only for powerpc64
builds and remove -mpcrel for powerpc32 builds.

Fixes: 7e3a68be42e1 ("powerpc/64: vmlinux support building with PCREL addresing")
