S390: Fix backtrace in vdso functions.
On s390, GDB fails to show the complete backtrace from within vdso functions. The macro INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_CALL saves the return address in r14 to r10 before branching to the vdso function. The branch-instruction updates r14 in order to let the vdso function return. Then the original address in r14 is restored from r10. Unfortunately, there are no cfi-rules and GDB fails. Furthermore the call of the vdso function does not comply with the s390 ABI as no stack-frame for the vdso-function is generated. This patch removes the s390 specific macro INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_CALL and the common implementation in sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sysdep-vdso.h is used. Then the vdso function is called via function-pointer and GCC generates a new stack-frame and emits all needed cfi-rules. The defines CLOBBER_[0-6] are removed as they were only used in macro INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_CALL. The macro INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_NO_SYSCALL_FALLBACK is not used on s390. The only user is power. Thus it is removed from s390 sysdep.h. ChangeLog: * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-64/sysdep.h (INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_CALL, CLOBBER_0, CLOBBER_1, CLOBBER_2, CLOBBER_3, CLOBBER_4, CLOBBER_5, CLOBBER_6, INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_NO_SYSCALL_FALLBACK): Remove. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/s390/s390-32/sysdep.h: Likewise.
