When building the kernel with a bare-metal (ELF) toolchain, the -shared
option may not be passed down to collect2, resulting in silent corruption
of the vDSO image (in particular, the DYNAMIC section is omitted).
The effect of this corruption is that the dynamic linker fails to find
the vDSO symbols and libc is instead used for the syscalls that we
intended to optimise (e.g. gettimeofday). Functionally, there is no
issue as the sigreturn trampoline is still intact and located by the
kernel.
This patch fixes the problem by explicitly passing -shared to the linker
when building the vDSO.

The vdso implementation of clock_getres currently returns 0 (success)
whenever a null timespec is provided by the caller, regardless of the
clock id supplied.
This behavior is incorrect. It should fall back to syscall when an
unrecognized clock id is passed, even when the timespec argument is
null. This ensures that clock_getres always returns an error for
invalid clock ids.

Building a kernel with CPU_BIG_ENDIAN fails if there are stale objects
from a !CPU_BIG_ENDIAN build. Due to a missing FORCE prerequisite on an
if_changed rule in the VDSO Makefile, we attempt to link a stale LE
object into the new BE kernel.
According to Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt, FORCE is required for
if_changed rules and forgetting it is a common mistake, so fix it by
'Forcing' the build of vdso. This patch fixes build errors like these:
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian
failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/note.o
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o: compiled for a little endian system and target is big endian
failed to merge target specific data of file arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/sigreturn.o

Andy pointed out that binutils generates additional sections in the vdso
image (e.g. section string table) which, if our .text section gets big
enough, could cross a page boundary and end up screwing up the location
where the kernel expects to put the data page.
This patch solves the issue in the same manner as x86_32, by moving the
data page before the code pages.

When __kernel_clock_gettime is called with a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or
CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE clock id, it returns incorrectly to whatever the
caller has placed in x2 ("ret x2" to return from the fast path). Fix
this by saving x30/LR to x2 only in code that will call
__do_get_tspec, restoring x30 afterward, and using a plain "ret" to
return from the routine.
Also: while the resulting tv_nsec value for CLOCK_REALTIME and
CLOCK_MONOTONIC must be computed using intermediate values that are
left-shifted by cs_shift (x12, set by __do_get_tspec), the results for
coarse clocks should be calculated using unshifted values
(xtime_coarse_nsec is in units of actual nanoseconds). The current
code shifts intermediate values by x12 unconditionally, but x12 is
uninitialized when servicing a coarse clock. Fix this by setting x12
to 0 once we know we are dealing with a coarse clock id.

Whilst the text segment for our VDSO is marked as PT_LOAD in the ELF
headers, it is mapped by the kernel and not actually subject to
demand-paging. ld doesn't realise this, and emits a p_align field of 64k
(the maximum supported page size), which conflicts with the load address
picked by the kernel on 4k systems, which will be 4k aligned. This
causes GDB to fail with "Failed to read a valid object file image from
memory" when attempting to load the VDSO.
This patch passes the -n option to ld, which prevents it from aligning
PT_LOAD segments to the maximum page size.

This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6db47a ("powerpc/vdso: Remove
redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()").
Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required
to ensure consistency. Furthermore, having multiple paths updating the
counter leads to a race between update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz,
so remove the timezone sequence counting from both the kernel and the
vdso.

We want to use the virtual counter at EL0, as the physical counter
may not track the current clocksource for guests running under a
hypervisor.
This patch updates the vdso and generic timer driver to use the virtual
counter. The kernel EL2 entry code is also updated to ensure that the
virtual offset is initialised to zero.

Shifting the nanosecond component of the computed timespec early can
lead to sub-ns inaccuracies when using the truncated value as input to
further arithmetic for things like conversions to monotonic time.
This patch defers the timespec shifting until after the final value has
been computed.

In preparation for sub-ns precision in the vdso timespec maths, change
the __do_get_tspec register allocation so that we return the clocksource
shift value instead of the unused xtime tspec.

When returning coarse realtime values from clock_gettime, we must still
check the sequence counter to ensure that the kernel does not update
the vdso datapage whilst we are loading the coarse timespec as this
could potentially result in time appearing to go backwards.
This patch delays the coarse realtime check until after we have loaded
successfully from the vdso datapage. This does mean that we always load
the wtm timespec, but conditionalising the load and adding an extra
sequence test is unlikely to buy us anything other than messy code,
particularly as the sequence test implies a read barrier.

The generic timer clocksource has 56 bits of precision and as such must
be masked appropriately after we have read it. The current mask
generated by a movn instruction is off by 4 bits, so we accidentally
include the top 4 bits in the final value.
This patch fixes the broken mask.

This patch adds VDSO support for 64-bit applications. The VDSO code is
currently used for sys_rt_sigreturn() and optimised gettimeofday()
(using the user-accessible generic counter).
