The soname from the vDSO is not a public API. Furthermore it requires
libc to implement dlsym() and friends.
Use the facilities from parse_vdso.c instead which uses the official
vDSO ABI to find it, aligned with the other vDSO selftests.

On SPARC the field tv_usec of 'struct timespec' is not a 'long int', but
only a regular int. In this case the format string is incorrect and will
trigger compiler warnings.
Avoid the warnings by casting to 'long long', similar to how it is done for
the tv_sec and what the other similar selftests are doing.

This reverts commit c9fbaa8795 ("selftests: vDSO: parse_vdso: Use UAPI
headers instead of libc headers")
The kernel headers were used to make parse_vdso.c compatible with
nolibc. Unfortunately linux/elf.h is incompatible with glibc's
sys/auxv.h. When using glibc it is therefore not possible build
parse_vdso.c as part of the same compilation unit as its caller
as sys/auxv.h is needed for getauxval().
In the meantime nolibc gained its own elf.h, providing compatibility
with the documented libc interfaces.

The cache parameter of getcpu() is useless nowadays for various reasons.
* It is never passed by userspace for either the vDSO or syscalls.
* It is never used by the kernel.
* It could not be made to work on the current vDSO architecture.
* The structure definition is not part of the UAPI headers.
* vdso_getcpu() is superseded by restartable sequences in any case.
Remove the struct and its header.
As a side-effect this gets rid of an unwanted inclusion of the linux/
header namespace from vDSO code.

This capability is critical for cloud environments, allowing hypervisors
to be updated with minimal downtime for running virtual machines. LUO
achieves this by preserving the state of selected resources, such as
memory, devices and their dependencies, across the kernel transition.
As a key feature, this series includes support for preserving memfd file

The test uses the kselftest.h framework and declares in its testplan to

the testplan would not be satisfied anymore and the test would fail.

If AT_SYSINFO_EHDR is missing the whole test needs to be skipped.
Currently this results in the following output:
TAP version 13
1..16
# AT_SYSINFO_EHDR is not present!
This output is incorrect, as "1..16" still requires the subtest lines to
be printed, which isn't done however.
Switch to the correct skipping functions, so the output now correctly
indicates that no subtests are being run:

47 | register long _rval asm ("r3"); \
| ^
It seems the list of input and output operands have been switched around.
However as the argument registers are not always initialized they can not
be marked as pure inputs as that would trigger -Wuninitialized warnings.
Adding _rval as another input and output operand does also not work as it
would collide with the existing _r3 variable.
Instead reuse _r3 for both the argument and the return value.

With the switch over to nolibc the source file vdso_standalone_test_x86.c
was intended to be replaced with a symlink to vdso_test_gettimeofday.c.
This was the patch that was submitted to LKML, but during application the
symlink was replaced by a textual copy of the linked-to file.
Having two copies introduces the possibility of divergence and increases
maintenance burden, switch back to a symlink.

Commit 14be4e6f35 ("selftests: vDSO: fix ELF hash table entry size for s390x")
changed the type of the ELF hash table entries to 64bit on s390x.
However the *GNU* hash tables entries are always 32bit.
The "bucket" pointer is shared between both hash algorithms.
On s390, this caused the GNU hash algorithm to access its 32-bit entries as if they
were 64-bit, triggering compiler warnings (assignment between "Elf64_Xword *" and
"Elf64_Word *") and runtime crashes.
Introduce a new dedicated "gnu_bucket" pointer which is used by the GNU hash.

To overcome that, commit ba83b3239e ("selftests: vDSO: fix vDSO
symbols lookup for powerpc64") was applied to have selftests also
look for NOTYPE symbols, but the correct fix should be to flag VDSO
entry points as functions.
The original commit that brought VDSO support into powerpc/64 has the
following explanation:
Note that the symbols exposed by the vDSO aren't "normal" function symbols, apps
can't be expected to link against them directly, the vDSO's are both seen
as if they were linked at 0 and the symbols just contain offsets to the
various functions. This is done on purpose to avoid a relocation step
(ppc64 functions normally have descriptors with abs addresses in them).
When glibc uses those functions, it's expected to use it's own trampolines
that know how to reach them.
The descriptors it's talking about are the OPD function descriptors
used on ABI v1 (big endian). But it would be more correct for a text
symbol to have type function, even if there's no function descriptor
for it.
glibc has a special case already for handling the VDSO symbols which
creates a fake opd pointing at the kernel symbol. So changing the VDSO
symbol type to function shouldn't affect that.
For ABI v2, there is no function descriptors and VDSO functions can
safely have function type.
So lets flag VDSO entry points as functions and revert the
selftest change.

Rather than building on supported archs, build on all archs, and then
use the presence of the symbol in the vDSO to either skip the test or
move forward with it.
Note that this means that this test no longer checks whether the symbol
was correctly added to the kernel. But hopefully this will be clear
enough to developers and we'll cross our fingers that symbols aren't
removed by accident and not caught after this change.
