For the same reason as commit e876f0b69dc9 ("lib/vdso: Allow
architectures to provide the vdso data pointer"), powerpc wants to
avoid calculation of relative position to code.
As the timens_vdso_data is next page to vdso_data, provide
vdso_data pointer to __arch_get_timens_vdso_data() in order
to ease the calculation on powerpc in following patches.

MIPS already uses and S390 will need the vdso data pointer in
__arch_get_hw_counter().
This works nicely as long as the architecture does not support time
namespaces in the VDSO. With time namespaces enabled the regular
accessor to the vdso data pointer __arch_get_vdso_data() will return the
namespace specific VDSO data page for tasks which are part of a
non-root time namespace. This would cause the architectures which need
the vdso data pointer in __arch_get_hw_counter() to access the wrong
vdso data page.
Add a vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter() and hand it in
from the call sites in the core code. For architectures which do not need
the data pointer in their counter accessor function the compiler will just
optimize it out.
Fix up all existing architecture implementations and make MIPS utilize the
pointer instead of invoking the accessor function.
No functional change and no change in the resulting object code (except
MIPS).

Pull more x86 updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of fixes and updates for x86:
- Unbreak paravirt VDSO clocks.
While the VDSO code was moved into lib for sharing a subtle check
for the validity of paravirt clocks got replaced. While the
replacement works perfectly fine for bare metal as the update of
the VDSO clock mode is synchronous, it fails for paravirt clocks
because the hypervisor can invalidate them asynchronously.
Bring it back as an optional function so it does not inflict this
on architectures which are free of PV damage.
- Fix the jiffies to jiffies64 mapping on 64bit so it does not
trigger an ODR violation on newer compilers
- Three fixes for the SSBD and *IB* speculation mitigation maze to
ensure consistency, not disabling of some *IB* variants wrongly and
to prevent a rogue cross process shutdown of SSBD. All marked for
stable.
- Add yet more CPU models to the splitlock detection capable list

- Bring the pr_info() back which tells that TSC deadline timer is
enabled.

The original x86 VDSO implementation checked for the validity of the clock
source read by testing whether the returned signed cycles value is less
than zero. This check was also used by the vdso read function to signal
that the current selected clocksource is not VDSO capable.
During the rework of the VDSO code the check was removed and replaced with
a check for the clocksource mode being != NONE.
This turned out to be a mistake because the check is necessary for paravirt
and hyperv clock sources. The reason is that these clock sources have their
own internal sequence counter to validate the clocksource at the point of
reading it. This is necessary because the hypervisor can invalidate the
clocksource asynchronously so a check during the VDSO data update is not
sufficient. Having a separate indicator for the validity is slower than
just validating the cycles value. The check for it being negative turned
out to be the fastest implementation and safe as it would require an uptime
of ~73 years with a 4GHz counter frequency to result in a false positive.
Add an optional function to validate the cycles with a default
implementation which allows the compiler to optimize it out for
architectures which do not require it.

When adding gettime64() to a 32 bit architecture (namely powerpc/32)
it has been noticed that GCC doesn't inline anymore
__cvdso_clock_gettime_common() because it is called twice
(Once by __cvdso_clock_gettime() and once by
__cvdso_clock_gettime32).
This has the effect of seriously degrading the performance:
Before the implementation of gettime64(), gettime() runs in:
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 1003 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 592 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 942 nsec/call
When adding a gettime64() entry point, the standard gettime()
performance is degraded by 30% to 50%:
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 1300 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 900 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 1232 nsec/call
Adding __always_inline() to __cvdso_clock_gettime_common() regains the
original performance.
In terms of code size, the inlining increases the code size by only 176
bytes. This is in the noise for a kernel image.

On powerpc, __arch_get_vdso_data() clobbers the link register, requiring
the caller to save it.
As the parent function already has to set a stack frame and saves the link
register before calling the C vdso function, retrieving the vdso data
pointer there is less overhead.
Split out the functional code from the __cvdso.*() interfaces into new
static functions which can either be called from the existing interfaces
with the vdso data pointer supplied via __arch_get_vdso_data() or directly

On powerpc/32, GCC (8.1) generates pretty bad code for the ns >>= vd->shift
operation taking into account that the shift is always <= 32 and the upper
part of the result is likely to be zero. GCC makes reversed assumptions
considering the shift to be likely >= 32 and the upper part to be like not
zero.
unsigned long long shift(unsigned long long x, unsigned char s)
{
return x >> s;
}
results in:
00000018 <shift>:

Even when forcing the shift to be smaller than 32 with an &= 31, it still
considers the shift as likely >= 32.

in architecture code via a macro.

To support time namespaces in the vdso with a minimal impact on regular non
time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in
a slow path.
The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time
namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide vdso data is
replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the
VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path
and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time
namespace handling path.
The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the vdso data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again.
If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.
If VDSO time namespace support is disabled the whole magic is compiled out.
Initial testing shows that the disabled case is almost identical to the
host case which does not take the slow timens path. With the special timens
page installed the performance hit is constant time and in the range of
5-7%.
For the vdso functions which are not using the sequence count an
unconditional check for vdso_data->clock_mode is added which switches to
the real vdso when the clock_mode is VCLOCK_TIMENS.
[avagin: Make do_hres_timens() work with raw clocks too: choose vdso_data
pointer by CS_RAW offset.]

The 32bit variants of vdso_clock_gettime()/getres() have a NULL pointer
check for the timespec pointer. That's inconsistent vs. 64bit.
But the vdso implementation will never be consistent versus the syscall
because the only case which it can handle is NULL. Any other invalid
pointer will cause a segfault. So special casing NULL is not really useful.
Remove it along with the superflouos syscall fallback invocation as that
will return -EFAULT anyway. That also gets rid of the dubious typecast
which only works because the pointer is NULL.

The x86 vdso implementation on which the generic vdso library is based on
has subtle (unfortunately undocumented) twists:
1) The code assumes that the clocksource mask is U64_MAX which means that
no bits are masked. Which is true for any valid x86 VDSO clocksource.
Stupidly it still did the mask operation for no reason and at the wrong
place right after reading the clocksource.
2) It contains a sanity check to catch the case where slightly
unsynchronized TSC values can be observed which would cause the delta
calculation to make a huge jump. It therefore checks whether the
current TSC value is larger than the value on which the current
conversion is based on. If it's not larger the base value is used to
prevent time jumps.
#1 Is not only stupid for the X86 case because it does the masking for no
reason it is also completely wrong for clocksources with a smaller mask
which can legitimately wrap around during a conversion period. The core
timekeeping code does it correct by applying the mask after the delta
calculation:
(now - base) & mask
#2 is equally broken for clocksources which have smaller masks and can wrap
around during a conversion period because there the now > base check is
just wrong and causes stale time stamps and time going backwards issues.
Unbreak it by:
1) Removing the mask operation from the clocksource read which makes the
fallback detection work for all clocksources
2) Replacing the conditional delta calculation with a overrideable inline
function.
#2 could reuse clocksource_delta() from the timekeeping code but that
results in a significant performance hit for the x86 VSDO. The timekeeping
core code must have the non optimized version as it has to operate
correctly with clocksources which have smaller masks as well to handle the
case where TSC is discarded as timekeeper clocksource and replaced by HPET
or pmtimer. For the VDSO there is no replacement clocksource. If TSC is
unusable the syscall is enforced which does the right thing.
To accommodate to the needs of various architectures provide an
override-able inline function which defaults to the regular delta
calculation with masking:
(now - base) & mask
Override it for x86 with the non-masking and checking version.
This unbreaks the ARM64 syscall fallback operation, allows to use
clocksources with arbitrary width and preserves the performance
optimization for x86.

Some 64 bit architectures have support for 32 bit applications that
require a separate version of the vDSOs.
Add support to the generic code for compat fallback functions.

In the last few years the kernel gained quite some architecture specific
vdso implementations which contain very similar code.
Introduce a generic VDSO implementation of gettimeofday() which will be
shareable between architectures once they are converted over.
The implementation is based on the current x86 VDSO code.
