This macro is to be used in assembly where C functions are called.
pcrel addressing mode requires branches to functions with a
localentry value of 1 to have either a trailing nop or @notoc.
This macro permits the latter without changing callers.

As reported by Alan, the CFI (Call Frame Information) in the VDSO time
routines is incorrect since commit ce7d8056e38b ("powerpc/vdso: Prepare
for switching VDSO to generic C implementation.").
DWARF has a concept called the CFA (Canonical Frame Address), which on
powerpc is calculated as an offset from the stack pointer (r1). That
means when the stack pointer is changed there must be a corresponding
CFI directive to update the calculation of the CFA.
The current code is missing those directives for the changes to r1,
which prevents gdb from being able to generate a backtrace from inside
VDSO functions, eg:
Breakpoint 1, 0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00007ffff7f804dc in __kernel_clock_gettime ()
#1 0x00007ffff7d8872c in clock_gettime@@GLIBC_2.17 () from /lib64/libc.so.6
#2 0x00007fffffffd960 in ?? ()
#3 0x00007ffff7d8872c in clock_gettime@@GLIBC_2.17 () from /lib64/libc.so.6
Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC
Alan helpfully describes some rules for correctly maintaining the CFI information:
1) Every adjustment to the current frame address reg (ie. r1) must be
described, and exactly at the instruction where r1 changes. Why?
Because stack unwinding might want to access previous frames.
2) If a function changes LR or any non-volatile register, the save
location for those regs must be given. The CFI can be at any
instruction after the saves up to the point that the reg is
changed.
(Exception: LR save should be described before a bl. not after)
3) If asychronous unwind info is needed then restores of LR and
non-volatile regs must also be described. The CFI can be at any
instruction after the reg is restored up to the point where the
save location is (potentially) trashed.
Fix the inability to backtrace by adding CFI directives describing the
changes to r1, ie. satisfying rule 1.
Also change the information for LR to point to the copy saved on the
stack, not the value in r0 that will be overwritten by the function
call.
Finally, add CFI directives describing the save/restore of r2.
With the fix gdb can correctly back trace and navigate up and down the stack:

cvdso_call_time macro is very similar to cvdso_call macro.
Add a call_time argument to cvdso_call which is 0 by default
and set to 1 when using cvdso_call to call __c_kernel_time().
Return returned value as is with CR[SO] cleared when it is used
for time().
