Place vdso-related user-space code in arch/arm/kernel/vdso/.

It is almost completely written in C with some assembly helpers to
load the data page address, sample the counter, and fall back to
system calls when necessary.

If CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER is not enabled, the vdso cannot service
high-resolution clocks and falls back to syscalls.  Low-resolution
clocks e.g. CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE can be serviced regardless.

Of particular note is that a post-processing step ("vdsomunge") is
necessary to produce a shared object which is architecturally allowed
to be used by both soft- and hard-float EABI programs.

The 2012 edition of the ARM ABI defines Tag_ABI_VFP_args = 3 "Code is
compatible with both the base and VFP variants; the user did not
permit non-variadic functions to pass FP parameters/results."
Unfortunately current toolchains do not support this tag, which is
ideally what we would use.

The best available option is to ensure that both EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT
and EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_HARD are unset in the ELF header's e_flags,
indicating that the shared object is "old" and should be accepted for
backward compatibility's sake.  While binutils < 2.24 appear to
produce a vdso.so with both flags clear, 2.24 always sets
EF_ARM_ABI_FLOAT_SOFT, with no way to inhibit this behavior.  So we
have to fix things up with a custom post-processing step.

In fact, the VDSO code in glibc does much less validation (including
checking these flags) than the code for handling conventional
file-backed shared libraries, so this is a bit moot unless glibc's
VDSO code becomes more strict.

I'm still a bit puzzled as to how we can implement a compat version of this
for a 32-bit userspace running under a 64-bit kernel. Maybe the answer is
that we don't care enough (programs will still work fine without it), but if
we did want to then we're going to need to build the kernel with two
toolchains and it gets really horrible.

Do you have any ideas?

Convince the gcc and binutils people to add a-m32 option to aarch64?
That's how x86_64 pulls this off :)  Or you could require a
cross-compiler to be available to enable this particular feature.

I have no further bright ideas, unless aarch64 and arm assembly are
miraculously nearly compatible, in which case you could do something
like what x32 does (build 64-bit and then use objcopy to turn the
result into an x32 object).

The compilers have two separate backends, so I think I'll know what they
say. I guess it's either overhauling kbuild to support two cross compilers,
or have some shell script to accept an option we make up.

The assembler is pretty different, so I'd be pretty uneasy about trying to
do that.

arch/powerpc has addressed this with a CROSS32_COMPILE= variable for
producing 32-bit outputs (compat vdso, bootwrapper) during a 64-bit
kernel build.  I think that was used before powerpc toolchains commonly
honored -m32.

Assuming a GCC+binutils toolchain, I don't have any workable ideas for
generating ARMv7 shared object during an arm64 kernel build without
relying on a second compiler.  I think theoretically you could do
something like what kuser32.S does, but that would be untenable for
something as complex as a vdso.

I recognize that this might present an awkward situation where an ARMv7
program could incur more system call overhead on arm64 than it does on
arm, but I don't see any way around it.
