.rodata is implicitly included in the PT_DYNAMIC segment due to
inheriting the segment of the preceding .dynamic section (in both GNU ld
and LLD). When the .rodata section's size is not a multiple of 16
bytes on riscv64, llvm-readelf will report a "PT_DYNAMIC dynamic table
is invalid" warning. Note: in the presence of the .dynamic section, GNU
readelf and llvm-readelf's -d option decodes the dynamic section using
the section.
This issue arose after commit 8f8c1ff879
("riscv: vdso.lds.S: remove hardcoded 0x800 .text start addr"), which
placed .rodata directly after .dynamic by removing .eh_frame.
This patch resolves the implicit inclusion into PT_DYNAMIC by explicitly
specifying the :text output section phdr.

The generic storage implementation provides the same features as the
custom one. However it can be shared between architectures, making

I believe the hardcoded 0x800 and related comments come from the long
history VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET in x86 vdso code, but commit 5b93049337
("x86 vDSO: generate vdso-syms.lds") and commit f6b46ebf90 ("x86
vDSO: new layout") removes the comment and hard coding for x86.
Similar as x86 and other arch, riscv doesn't need the rigid layout
using VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET since it "no longer matters to the kernel".
so we could remove the hard coding now, and removing it brings a
small vdso.so and aligns with other architectures.
Also, having enough separation between data and text is important for
I-cache, so similar as x86, move .note, .eh_frame_hdr, and .eh_frame
between .rodata and .text.

Add a vDSO function __vdso_riscv_hwprobe, which can sit in front of the
riscv_hwprobe syscall and answer common queries. We stash a copy of
static answers for the "all CPUs" case in the vDSO data page. This data
is private to the vDSO, so we can decide later to change what's stored
there or under what conditions we defer to the syscall. Currently all
data can be discovered at boot, so the vDSO function answers all queries
when the cpumask is set to the "all CPUs" hint.
There's also a boolean in the data that lets the vDSO function know that
all CPUs are the same. In that case, the vDSO will also answer queries
for arbitrary CPU masks in addition to the "all CPUs" hint.

Recently, ld.lld moved from '--undefined-version' to
'--no-undefined-version' as the default, which breaks the compat vDSO
build:
ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_4.15' to symbol '__vdso_gettimeofday' failed: symbol not defined
ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_4.15' to symbol '__vdso_clock_gettime' failed: symbol not defined
ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_4.15' to symbol '__vdso_clock_getres' failed: symbol not defined
These symbols are not present in the compat vDSO or the regular vDSO for
32-bit but they are unconditionally included in the version section of
the linker script, which is prohibited with '--no-undefined-version'.
Fix this issue by only including the symbols that are actually exported
in the version section of the linker script.

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.

Despite RISC-V having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to
userspace (which we can't trap!), that's not actually viable when
running on Linux because the kernel might schedule a process on another
hart. There is no way for userspace to handle this without invoking the
kernel (as it doesn't know the thread->hart mappings), so we've defined
a RISC-V specific system call to flush the instruction cache.
This patch adds both a system call and a VDSO entry. If possible, we'd
like to avoid having the system call be considered part of the
user-facing ABI and instead restrict that to the VDSO entry -- both just
in general to avoid having additional user-visible ABI to maintain, and
because we'd prefer that users just call the VDSO entry because there
might be a better way to do this in the future (ie, one that doesn't
require entering the kernel).

For now these are just placeholders that execute the syscall. We will
