[patch 5/9] Add all the necessary structures to the vsyscall page

From: jbohac
Date: Thu Feb 01 2007 - 06:29:41 EST


The TSC-based Master Timer approximation code will need a couple of
per-CPU offsets and coefficients to approximate the value of a hardware
"Master Timer" based on the value of TSC on whichever CPU it will be
running.

We want to be able to do these approximations in a vsyscall, so we need
all this data in vsyscall-mapped pages.
