It must depends on the compiler, and/or CONFIG_XXX options...
Badari's config triggered it for me.
Anyway, I think we can safely move __vgetcpu_mode & __jiffies to the 1024 bytes area dedicated to vgetcpu() implementation. This saves 128 bytes from vsyscall_0 area.
Could we add this patch instead of dropping time-smp-friendly-alignment-of-struct-clocksource.patch ?
When you tell me it works OK with Badari's config ;)
