The VDSO datapage doesn't need to be executable (no code there) or CoW-able (the kernel writes the page, so a private copy is totally useless). This patch moves the datapage into its own VMA, identified as "[vvar]" in /proc/<pid>/maps.

Remove some unnecessary bits that were apparently carried over from another architecture's implementation: - No need to get_page() the vdso text/data - these are part of the kernel image. - No need for ClearPageReserved on the vdso text. - No need to vmap the first text page to check the ELF header - this can be done through &vdso_start. Also some minor cleanup: - Use kcalloc for vdso_pagelist array allocation. - Don't print on allocation failure, slab/slub will do that for us.

Update wall-to-monotonic fields in the VDSO data page unconditionally. These are used to service CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, which is not guarded by use_syscall.

Currently the sigreturn compat code is copied to an offset in the vectors table. When using a BE kernel this data will be stored in the wrong endianess so when returning from a signal on a 32-bit BE system, arbitrary code will be executed. Instead of declaring the code inside a struct and copying that, use the assembler's .byte directives to store the code in the correct endianess regardless of platform endianess.

This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6d ("powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()"). Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required to ensure consistency. Furthermore, having multiple paths updating the counter leads to a race between update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz, so remove the timezone sequence counting from both the kernel and the vdso.

Shifting the nanosecond component of the computed timespec early can lead to sub-ns inaccuracies when using the truncated value as input to further arithmetic for things like conversions to monotonic time. This patch defers the timespec shifting until after the final value has been computed.

With commit 576094b7 (time: Introduce new GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL) the old update_vsyscall() prototype is no longer available. This patch updates the arm64 port.

This patch adds VDSO support for 64-bit applications. The VDSO code is currently used for sys_rt_sigreturn() and optimised gettimeofday() (using the user-accessible generic counter).
