With the C VDSO, the performance is slightly lower, but it is worth
it as it will ease maintenance and evolution, and also brings clocks
that are not supported with the ASM VDSO.
On an 8xx at 132 MHz, vdsotest with the ASM VDSO:
gettimeofday: vdso: 828 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime-coarse: vdso: 391 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 614 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 460 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 876 nsec/call

clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 460 nsec/call

On an 8xx at 132 MHz, vdsotest with the C VDSO:

clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 545 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 940 nsec/call
It is even better for gettime with monotonic clocks.

Prepare for switching VDSO to generic C implementation in following
patch. Here, we:
- Prepare the helpers to call the C VDSO functions
- Prepare the required callbacks for the C VDSO functions
- Prepare the clocksource.h files to define VDSO_ARCH_CLOCKMODES
- Add the C trampolines to the generic C VDSO functions
powerpc is a bit special for VDSO as well as system calls in the
way that it requires setting CR SO bit which cannot be done in C.
Therefore, entry/exit needs to be performed in ASM.
Implementing __arch_get_vdso_data() would clobber the link register,
requiring the caller to save it. As the ASM calling function already
has to set a stack frame and saves the link register before calling
the C vdso function, retriving the vdso data pointer there is lighter.
Implement __arch_vdso_capable() and always return true.
Provide vdso_shift_ns(), as the generic x >> s gives the following
bad result:
18: 35 25 ff e0 addic. r9,r5,-32
1c: 41 80 00 10 blt 2c <shift+0x14>
20: 7c 64 4c 30 srw r4,r3,r9
24: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0
...
2c: 54 69 08 3c rlwinm r9,r3,1,0,30
30: 21 45 00 1f subfic r10,r5,31
34: 7c 84 2c 30 srw r4,r4,r5
38: 7d 29 50 30 slw r9,r9,r10
3c: 7c 63 2c 30 srw r3,r3,r5
40: 7d 24 23 78 or r4,r9,r4
In our case the shift is always <= 32. In addition, the upper 32 bits
of the result are likely nul. Lets GCC know it, it also optimises the
following calculations.
With the patch, we get:
0: 21 25 00 20 subfic r9,r5,32
4: 7c 69 48 30 slw r9,r3,r9
8: 7c 84 2c 30 srw r4,r4,r5
c: 7d 24 23 78 or r4,r9,r4
10: 7c 63 2c 30 srw r3,r3,r5

When we're building the compat VDSO we are building 32-bit code but in
the context of a 64-bit kernel configuration.
To make this work we need to be careful in some places when using
ifdefs to differentiate between CONFIG_PPC64 and __powerpc64__.
CONFIG_PPC64 indicates the kernel we're building is 64-bit, but it
doesn't tell us that we're currently building 64-bit code - we could
be building 32-bit code for the compat VDSO.
On the other hand __powerpc64__ tells us that we are currently
building 64-bit code (and therefore we must also be building a 64-bit
kernel).
In the case of get_tb() we want to use the 32-bit code sequence
regardless of whether the kernel we're building for is 64-bit or
32-bit, what matters is the word size of the current object. So we
need to check __powerpc64__ to decide if we use mftb() or the
mftbu()/mftb() sequence.
For mftb() the logic for CPU_FTR_CELL_TB_BUG only makes sense if we're
building 64-bit code, so guard that with a __powerpc64__ check.
