To support time namespaces in the vdso with a minimal impact on regular non
time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in
a slow path.
The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time
namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide vdso data is
replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the
VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path
and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time
namespace handling path.
The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the vdso data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again.
If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.
If VDSO time namespace support is disabled the whole magic is compiled out.
Initial testing shows that the disabled case is almost identical to the
host case which does not take the slow timens path. With the special timens
page installed the performance hit is constant time and in the range of
5-7%.
For the vdso functions which are not using the sequence count an
unconditional check for vdso_data->clock_mode is added which switches to
the real vdso when the clock_mode is VCLOCK_TIMENS.
[avagin: Make do_hres_timens() work with raw clocks too: choose vdso_data
pointer by CS_RAW offset.]

VDSO_HAS_32BIT_FALLBACK was introduced to address a regression which
caused seccomp to deny access to the applications to clock_gettime64()
and clock_getres64() because they are not enabled in the existing
filters.
The purpose of VDSO_HAS_32BIT_FALLBACK was to simplify the conditional
implementation of __cvdso_clock_get*time32() variants.
Now that all the architectures that support the generic vDSO library
have been converted to support the 32 bit fallbacks the conditional
can be removed.

A recent commit removed the NULL pointer check from the clock_getres()
implementation causing a test case to fault.
POSIX requires an explicit NULL pointer check for clock_getres() aside of
the validity check of the clock_id argument for obscure reasons.
Add it back for both 32bit and 64bit.
Note, this is only a partial revert of the offending commit which does not
bring back the broken fallback invocation in the the 32bit compat

The 32bit variants of vdso_clock_gettime()/getres() have a NULL pointer
check for the timespec pointer. That's inconsistent vs. 64bit.
But the vdso implementation will never be consistent versus the syscall
because the only case which it can handle is NULL. Any other invalid
pointer will cause a segfault. So special casing NULL is not really useful.
Remove it along with the superflouos syscall fallback invocation as that
will return -EFAULT anyway. That also gets rid of the dubious typecast
which only works because the pointer is NULL.

The x86 vdso implementation on which the generic vdso library is based on
has subtle (unfortunately undocumented) twists:
1) The code assumes that the clocksource mask is U64_MAX which means that
no bits are masked. Which is true for any valid x86 VDSO clocksource.
Stupidly it still did the mask operation for no reason and at the wrong
place right after reading the clocksource.
2) It contains a sanity check to catch the case where slightly
unsynchronized TSC values can be observed which would cause the delta
calculation to make a huge jump. It therefore checks whether the
current TSC value is larger than the value on which the current
conversion is based on. If it's not larger the base value is used to
prevent time jumps.
#1 Is not only stupid for the X86 case because it does the masking for no
reason it is also completely wrong for clocksources with a smaller mask
which can legitimately wrap around during a conversion period. The core
timekeeping code does it correct by applying the mask after the delta
calculation:
(now - base) & mask
#2 is equally broken for clocksources which have smaller masks and can wrap
around during a conversion period because there the now > base check is
just wrong and causes stale time stamps and time going backwards issues.
Unbreak it by:
1) Removing the mask operation from the clocksource read which makes the
fallback detection work for all clocksources
2) Replacing the conditional delta calculation with a overrideable inline
function.
#2 could reuse clocksource_delta() from the timekeeping code but that
results in a significant performance hit for the x86 VSDO. The timekeeping
core code must have the non optimized version as it has to operate
correctly with clocksources which have smaller masks as well to handle the
case where TSC is discarded as timekeeper clocksource and replaced by HPET
or pmtimer. For the VDSO there is no replacement clocksource. If TSC is
unusable the syscall is enforced which does the right thing.
To accommodate to the needs of various architectures provide an
override-able inline function which defaults to the regular delta
calculation with masking:
(now - base) & mask
Override it for x86 with the non-masking and checking version.
This unbreaks the ARM64 syscall fallback operation, allows to use
clocksources with arbitrary width and preserves the performance
optimization for x86.

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.
