<content type='text'>
Implement generic vdso time namespace support which also enables time
namespaces for riscv. This is quite similar to what arm64 does.

selftest/timens test result:
  1..10
  ok 1 Passed for CLOCK_BOOTTIME (syscall)
  ok 2 Passed for CLOCK_BOOTTIME (vdso)
  ok 3 # SKIP CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM isn't supported
  ok 4 # SKIP CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM isn't supported

  ok 7 Passed for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE (syscall)
  ok 8 Passed for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE (vdso)
  ok 9 Passed for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW (syscall)
  ok 10 Passed for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW (vdso)
  # Totals: pass:8 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:2 error:0

<content type='text'>
riscv architectures relying on mmap_sem for write in their
arch_setup_additional_pages. If the waiting task gets killed by the oom
killer it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space reclaim
and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving.  Wait for the lock in
the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task got killed while
waiting.

<content type='text'>
As commit 601255ae3c98 ("arm64: vdso: move data page before code pages"), the
same issue exists on riscv, testcase is shown below, make sure that vdso.so is
bigger than page size,

  struct timespec tp;
  clock_gettime(5, &amp;tp);
  printf("tv_sec: %ld, tv_nsec: %ld\n", tp.tv_sec, tp.tv_nsec);

without this patch, test result : tv_sec: 0, tv_nsec: 0
   with this patch, test result : tv_sec: 1629271537, tv_nsec: 748000000

Move the vdso data page in front of the VDSO area to fix the issue.

<content type='text'>
The asm/vdso.h will be included in vdso.lds.S in the next patch, the
following cleanup is needed to avoid syntax error:

 1.the declaration of sys_riscv_flush_icache() is moved into asm/syscall.h.
 2.the definition of struct vdso_data is moved into kernel/vdso.c.
 2.the definition of VDSO_SYMBOL is placed under "#ifndef __ASSEMBLY__".

Also remove the redundant linux/types.h include.

<title>riscv: set the permission of vdso_data to read-only</title>

<content type='text'>
The original vdso_data page is empty, so the permission of the vdso_data
page can be the same with the vdso text page. After introducing the vDSO
common flow, the vdso_data is not empty and the permission should be
changed to read-only.

<id>urn:sha1:ad5d1122b82fbd6a816d1b9d26ee01a6dbc2d757</id>
<content type='text'>
Even if RISC-V has supported the vDSO feature, the latency of the functions
for obtaining the system time is still expensive. It is because these
functions still trigger a corresponding system call in the process, which
slows down the response time. If we want to remove the system call to
reduce the latency, the kernel should have the ability to output the system
clock information to userspace. This patch introduces the vDSO common flow
to enable the kernel to achieve the above feature and uses "rdtime"
instruction to obtain the current time in the user space. Under this
condition, the latency cost by the ecall from U-mode to S-mode can be
eliminated. After applying this patch, the latency of gettimeofday()
measured on the HiFive unleashed board can be reduced by %61.

This change converts the existing mmap_sem rwsem calls to use the new mmap
locking API instead.

The change is generated using coccinelle with the following rule:
