The adverbs 'therefor' and 'therefore' have different meaning.
As the meaning here is 'consequently' the spelling should be 'therefore'.

There is no vgettimeofday supported in rv32 that makes simple to
generate rv32 vdso code which only needs riscv64 compiler. Other
architectures need change compiler or -m (machine parameter) to
support vdso32 compiling. If rv32 support vgettimeofday (which
cause C compile) in future, we would add CROSS_COMPILE to support
that makes more requirement on compiler enviornment.

Finally, reuse all *.S from vdso in compat_vdso that makes
implementation clear and readable.

It seems that something is wrong when patch "riscv/vdso:
Refactor asm/vdso.h" is merged.
Let's fix the merge issue.

Implement generic vdso time namespace support which also enables time
namespaces for riscv. This is quite similar to what arm64 does.

As commit 601255ae3c98 ("arm64: vdso: move data page before code pages"), the
same issue exists on riscv, testcase is shown below, make sure that vdso.so is
bigger than page size,
struct timespec tp;
clock_gettime(5, &tp);
printf("tv_sec: %ld, tv_nsec: %ld\n", tp.tv_sec, tp.tv_nsec);
without this patch, test result : tv_sec: 0, tv_nsec: 0
with this patch, test result : tv_sec: 1629271537, tv_nsec: 748000000
Move the vdso data page in front of the VDSO area to fix the issue.

The asm/vdso.h will be included in vdso.lds.S in the next patch, the
following cleanup is needed to avoid syntax error:
1.the declaration of sys_riscv_flush_icache() is moved into asm/syscall.h.
2.the definition of struct vdso_data is moved into kernel/vdso.c.
2.the definition of VDSO_SYMBOL is placed under "#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__".
Also remove the redundant linux/types.h include.

The current implementation of the `__rt_sigaction` reference computed an
absolute offset relative to the mapped base of the VDSO. While this can
be handled in the medlow model, the medany model cannot handle this as
it is meant to be position independent. The current implementation
relied on the BFD linker relaxing the PC-relative relocation into an
absolute relocation as it was a near-zero address allowing it to be
referenced relative to `zero`.
We now extract the offsets and create a generated header allowing the
build with LLVM and lld to succeed as we no longer depend on the linker
rewriting address references near zero. This change was largely
modelled after the ARM64 target which does something similar.

Even if RISC-V has supported the vDSO feature, the latency of the functions
for obtaining the system time is still expensive. It is because these
functions still trigger a corresponding system call in the process, which
slows down the response time. If we want to remove the system call to
reduce the latency, the kernel should have the ability to output the system
clock information to userspace. This patch introduces the vDSO common flow
to enable the kernel to achieve the above feature and uses "rdtime"
instruction to obtain the current time in the user space. Under this
condition, the latency cost by the ecall from U-mode to S-mode can be
eliminated. After applying this patch, the latency of gettimeofday()
measured on the HiFive unleashed board can be reduced by %61.

This would be necessary to make non-SMP builds work, but there is
another error in the implementation of our syscall linkage that actually
just causes sys_riscv_flush_icache to never build. I've build tested
this on allnoconfig and allnoconfig+SMP=y, as well as defconfig like
normal.

Despite RISC-V having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to
userspace (which we can't trap!), that's not actually viable when
running on Linux because the kernel might schedule a process on another
hart. There is no way for userspace to handle this without invoking the
kernel (as it doesn't know the thread->hart mappings), so we've defined
a RISC-V specific system call to flush the instruction cache.
This patch adds both a system call and a VDSO entry. If possible, we'd
like to avoid having the system call be considered part of the
user-facing ABI and instead restrict that to the VDSO entry -- both just
in general to avoid having additional user-visible ABI to maintain, and
because we'd prefer that users just call the VDSO entry because there
might be a better way to do this in the future (ie, one that doesn't
require entering the kernel).

including via system calls, the VDSO, module loading and signal
