I only looked at the kernel, which today still supports compat mode for ppc64le, but I saw the patches to disable it, and I don't think anyone has even attempted building user space for it. Arnd

COMPAT is still enabled for some reason, but VDSO32 isn't (since 4.2).

Ok, I had missed that detail. Should I just drop my patch then? Arnd

On little-endian 32-bit application running on 64-bit kernels, the current vdso would read the wrong half of the xtime seconds field. Change it to return the lower half like it does on big-endian.
