__pa_symbol is technically the marcro that should be used for kernel
symbols. Switch to this as a pre-requisite for DEBUG_VIRTUAL which
will do bounds checking.

These objects are set during initialization, thereafter are read only.
Previously I only want to mark vdso_pages, vdso_spec, vectors_page and
cpu_ops as __read_mostly from performance point of view. Then inspired
by Kees's patch[1] to apply more __ro_after_init for arm, I think it's
better to mark them as __ro_after_init. What's more, I find some more
objects are also read only after init. So apply __ro_after_init to all
of them.
This patch also removes global vdso_pagelist and tries to clean up
vdso_spec[] assignment code.

So far the arm64 clock_gettime() vDSO implementation only supported
the following clocks, falling back to the syscall for the others:
- CLOCK_REALTIME{,_COARSE}
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC{,_COARSE}
This patch adds support for the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW clock, taking
advantage of the recent refactoring of the vDSO time functions. Like
the non-_COARSE clocks, this only works when the "arch_sys_counter"
clocksource is in use (allowing us to read the current time from the
virtual counter register), otherwise we also have to fall back to the
syscall.
Most of the data is shared with CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and the algorithm is
similar. The reference implementation in kernel/time/timekeeping.c
shows that:
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC = tk->wall_to_monotonic + tk->xtime_sec +
timekeeping_get_ns(&tk->tkr_mono)
- CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW = tk->raw_time + timekeeping_get_ns(&tk->tkr_raw)
- tkr_mono and tkr_raw are identical (in particular, same
clocksource), except these members:
* mult (only mono's multiplier is NTP-adjusted)
* xtime_nsec (always 0 for raw)
Therefore, tk->raw_time and tkr_raw->mult are now also stored in the
vDSO data page.

killer it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space reclaim

Since 906c55579a ("timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the
real timekeeper last") it has become possible on arm64 to:
- Obtain a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE timestamp
via syscall.
- Subsequently obtain a timestamp for the same clock ID via VDSO which
predates the first timestamp (by one jiffy).
This is because arm64's update_vsyscall is deriving the coarse time
using the __current_kernel_time interface, when it should really be
using the timekeeper object provided to it by the timekeeping core.
It happened to work before only because __current_kernel_time would
access the same timekeeper object which had been passed to
update_vsyscall. This is no longer the case.

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

Pull timer and time updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A rather large update of timers, timekeeping & co
- Core timekeeping code is year-2038 safe now for 32bit machines.
Now we just need to fix all in kernel users and the gazillion of
user space interfaces which rely on timespec/timeval :)
- Better cache layout for the timekeeping internal data structures.
- Proper nanosecond based interfaces for in kernel users.
- Tree wide cleanup of code which wants nanoseconds but does hoops
and loops to convert back and forth from timespecs. Some of it
definitely belongs into the ugly code museum.
- Consolidation of the timekeeping interface zoo.
- A fast NMI safe accessor to clock monotonic for tracing. This is a
long standing request to support correlated user/kernel space
traces. With proper NTP frequency correction it's also suitable
for correlation of traces accross separate machines.
- Checkpoint/restart support for timerfd.
- A few NOHZ[_FULL] improvements in the [hr]timer code.
- Code move from kernel to kernel/time of all time* related code.
- New clocksource/event drivers from the ARM universe. I'm really
impressed that despite an architected timer in the newer chips SoC
manufacturers insist on inventing new and differently broken SoC
specific timers.
[ Ed. "Impressed"? I don't think that word means what you think it means ]
- Another round of code move from arch to drivers. Looks like most
of the legacy mess in ARM regarding timers is sorted out except for
a few obnoxious strongholds.
- The usual updates and fixlets all over the place"

Andy pointed out that binutils generates additional sections in the vdso
image (e.g. section string table) which, if our .text section gets big
enough, could cross a page boundary and end up screwing up the location
where the kernel expects to put the data page.
This patch solves the issue in the same manner as x86_32, by moving the
data page before the code pages.

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.

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 ce73ec6db4 ("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.
