FROMLIST: [PATCH v5 03/12] arm: vdso: inline assembler operations to compiler.h
(cherry picked from commit https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10044507/ ) Take an effort to recode the arm64 vdso code from assembler to C previously submitted by Andrew Pinski <apinski@cavium.com>, rework it for use in both arm and arm64, overlapping any optimizations for each architecture. But instead of landing it in arm64, land the result into lib/vdso and unify both implementations to simplify future maintenance. Move compiler-specific code to a local compiler.h file: - CONFIG_AEABI dependency check. - System call fallback functions standardized into a DEFINE_FALLBACK macro. - Replace arch_counter_get_cntvct() with arch_vdso_read_counter. - Deal with architecture specific unresolved references emitted by GCC. - Optimize handling of fallback calls in callers. - For time functions that always return success, do not waste time checking return value for switch to fallback. - Optimize unlikely nullptr checking in __vdso_gettimeofday, if tv null no need to proceed to fallback, as vdso is still capable of filling in the tv values.
