#     powerpc/vdso: Don't use r30 to avoid breaking Go lang
#     
#     The Go runtime uses r30 for some special value called 'g'. It assumes
#     that value will remain unchanged even when calling VDSO functions.
#     Although r30 is non-volatile across function calls, the callee is free
#     to use it, as long as the callee saves the value and restores it before
#     returning.
#     
#     It used to be true by accident that the VDSO didn't use r30, because the
#     VDSO was hand-written asm. When we switched to building the VDSO from C
#     the compiler started using r30, at least in some builds, leading to
#     crashes in Go. eg:
#     
#       ~/go/src$ ./all.bash
#       Building Go cmd/dist using /usr/lib/go-1.16. (go1.16.2 linux/ppc64le)
#       Building Go toolchain1 using /usr/lib/go-1.16.
#       go build os/exec: /usr/lib/go-1.16/pkg/tool/linux_ppc64le/compile: signal: segmentation fault
#       go build reflect: /usr/lib/go-1.16/pkg/tool/linux_ppc64le/compile: signal: segmentation fault
#       go tool dist: FAILED: /usr/lib/go-1.16/bin/go install -gcflags=-l -tags=math_big_pure_go compiler_bootstrap bootstrap/cmd/...: exit status 1
#     
#     There are patches in flight to fix Go[1], but until they are released
#     and widely deployed we can workaround it in the VDSO by avoiding use of
#     r30.
#     
#     Note this only works with GCC, clang does not support -ffixed-rN.
