The following will provoke the crash:

__attribute__((noinline)) void somefunc(void) { }

int __clock_gettime(clockid_t clk, struct timespec *ts)
{
       ((int (*)(clockid_t, struct timespec *))vdso_func)(clk, ts);
       somefunc();
       return 88;
}

It seems like the VDSO is doing something to the stack.
