8bd49acb4e vdso/helpers: Explicitly include vdso/processor.h
The usage of cpu_relax() requires vdso/processor.h. Currently
this header is included transitively, but that transitive inclusion is
about to go away.

Explicitly include the header.

0c02d6df15 vdso/gettimeofday: Move the unlikely() into vdso_read_retry()
All callers of vdso_read_retry() test its return value with unlikely().
Move the unlikely into the helper to make the code easier to read.
This is equivalent to the retry function of non-vDSO seqlocks.

ed78b7b2c5 vdso/gettimeofday: Add a helper to read the sequence lock of a time namespace aware clock
Currently there are three different open-coded variants of a time
namespace aware variant of vdso_read_begin(). They make the code hard to
read and introduce an inconsistency, as only the first copy uses
unlikely().

Split the code into a shared helper function.
Move that next to the definition of the regular vdso_read_begin(), so
that any future changes can be kept in sync easily.

ad64d71d74 vdso/helpers: Add helpers for seqlocks of single vdso_clock
Auxiliary clocks will have their vDSO data in a dedicated 'struct vdso_clock',
which needs to be synchronized independently.

Add a helper to synchronize a single vDSO clock.

886653e366 vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock
To support multiple PTP clocks, the VDSO data structure needs to be
reworked. All clock specific data will end up in struct vdso_clock and in
struct vdso_time_data there will be an array of VDSO clocks.

Now that all preparatory changes are in place:

Split the clock related struct members into a separate struct
vdso_clock. Make sure all users are aware, that vdso_time_data is no longer
initialized as an array and vdso_clock is now the array inside
vdso_data. Remove the vdso_clock define, which mapped it to vdso_time_data
for the transition.

e15bf9e34b vdso/helpers: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clock
To support multiple PTP clocks, the VDSO data structure needs to be
reworked. All clock specific data will end up in struct vdso_clock and in
struct vdso_time_data there will be an array of VDSO clocks. For now,
vdso_clock is simply a define which maps vdso_clock to vdso_time_data.

Prepare all functions which need the pointer to the vdso_clock array to
work well after the structures get reworked. Replace the struct vdso_time_data
pointer with a struct vdso_clock pointer where applicable.

No functional change.

7f053812da random: vDSO: minimize and simplify header includes
Depending on the architecture, building a 32-bit vDSO on a 64-bit kernel
is problematic when some system headers are included.

Minimise the amount of headers by moving needed items, such as
__{get,put}_unaligned_t, into dedicated common headers and in general
use more specific headers, similar to what was done in commit
8165b57bca ("linux/const.h: Extract common header for vDSO") and
commit 8c59ab839f ("lib/vdso: Enable common headers").

On some architectures this results in missing PAGE_SIZE, as was
described by commit 8b3843ae36 ("vdso/datapage: Quick fix - use
asm/page-def.h for ARM64"), so define this if necessary, in the same way
as done prior by commit cffaefd15a ("vdso: Use CONFIG_PAGE_SHIFT in
vdso/datapage.h").

Removing linux/time64.h leads to missing 'struct timespec64' in
x86's asm/pvclock.h. Add a forward declaration of that struct in
that file.

00b26474c2 lib/vdso: Provide generic VDSO implementation
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.
