FROMLIST: arm64: Build vDSO with -ffixed-x18
The vDSO needs to be build with x18 reserved in order to accommodate userspace platform ABIs built on top of Linux that use the register to carry inter-procedural state, as provided for by the AAPCS. An example of such a platform ABI is the one that will be used by an upcoming version of Android. Although this change is currently a no-op due to the fact that the vDSO is currently implemented in pure assembly on arm64, it is necessary in order to prepare for another change [1] that will add C code to the vDSO.
