Pull VDSO infrastructure updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Consolidate the VDSO storage
The VDSO data storage and data layout has been largely architecture
specific for historical reasons. That increases the maintenance
effort and causes inconsistencies over and over.
There is no real technical reason for architecture specific layouts
and implementations. The architecture specific details can easily be
integrated into a generic layout, which also reduces the amount of
duplicated code for managing the mappings.
Convert all architectures over to a unified layout and common mapping
infrastructure. This splits the VDSO data layout into subsystem
specific blocks, timekeeping, random and architecture parts, which
provides a better structure and allows to improve and update the
functionalities without conflict and interaction.
- Rework the timekeeping data storage
The current implementation is designed for exposing system
timekeeping accessors, which was good enough at the time when it was
designed.
PTP and Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) change that as there are
requirements to expose independent PTP clocks, which are not related
to system timekeeping.
Replace the monolithic data storage by a structured layout, which
allows to add support for independent PTP clocks on top while reusing
both the data structures and the time accessor implementations.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembly code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This can be very confusing when switching between userspace
and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with UAPI headers that
rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize on
the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers now.
This is mostly a mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual tweaks in <asm/frame.h>, <asm/hw_irq.h>
and <asm/setup.h> that mentioned this macro in comments with some
missing underscores.

The generic storage implementation provides the same features as the
custom one. However it can be shared between architectures, making
maintenance easier.
This switch also moves the random state data out of the time data page.
The currently used hardcoded __VDSO_RND_DATA_OFFSET does not take into
account changes to the time data page layout.

The vclock pages are *after* the non-vclock pages. Currently there are both
two vclock and two non-vclock pages so the existing logic works by
accident. As soon as the number of pages changes it will break however.
This will be the case with the introduction of the generic vDSO data
storage.
Use a macro to keep the calculation understandable and in sync between
the linker script and mapping code.

Remove the usage of the vvar _vdso_rng_data from the kernel-space code,
as the x86 vvar machinery is about to be removed.
The definition of the structure is unnecessary, as the data lives in a
page pre-allocated by the linker anyways.
The vdso user-space access to the rng data will be switched soon.
DEFINE_VVAR_SINGLE() is now unused. It will be removed later togehter
with the rest of vvar.h.

Since the generic VDSO clock mode storage is used, this header file is
unused and can be removed.
This avoids including a non-VDSO header while building the VDSO,
which can lead to compilation errors.

_vdso_data is specific to x86 and __arch_get_k_vdso_data() is provided
so that all architectures can provide the requested pointer.
Do the same with _vdso_rng_data, provide __arch_get_k_vdso_rng_data()
and don't use x86 _vdso_rng_data directly.
Until now vdso/vsyscall.h was only included by time/vsyscall.c but now
it will also be included in char/random.c, leading to a duplicate
declaration of _vdso_data and _vdso_rng_data.
To fix this issue, move the declaration in a C file. vma.c looks like
the most appropriate candidate. We don't need to replace the definitions
in vsyscall.h by declarations as declarations are already in asm/vvar.h.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.
First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
doesn't count as being mlocked.
Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
generic manner and hooked into random.c.
Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)
Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.
There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"

Hook up the generic vDSO implementation to the x86 vDSO data page. Since
the existing vDSO infrastructure is heavily based on the timekeeping
functionality, which works over arrays of bases, a new macro is
introduced for vvars that are not arrays.
The vDSO function requires a ChaCha20 implementation that does not write
to the stack, yet can still do an entire ChaCha20 permutation, so
provide this using SSE2, since this is userland code that must work on
all x86-64 processors.

All architectures which use the generic VDSO code have their own storage
for the VDSO clock mode. That's pointless and just requires duplicate code.
X86 abuses the function which retrieves the architecture specific clock
mode storage to mark the clocksource as used in the VDSO. That's silly
because this is invoked on every tick when the VDSO data is updated.
Move this functionality to the clocksource::enable() callback so it gets
invoked once when the clocksource is installed. This allows to make the
clock mode storage generic.

The x86 vDSO library requires some adaptations to take advantage of the
newly introduced generic vDSO library.
Introduce the following changes:
- Modification of vdso.c to be compliant with the common vdso datapage
- Use of lib/vdso for gettimeofday
