f84a935db4 arm64: vdso: check sequence counter even for coarse realtime operations
When returning coarse realtime values from clock_gettime, we must still
check the sequence counter to ensure that the kernel does not update
the vdso datapage whilst we are loading the coarse timespec as this
could potentially result in time appearing to go backwards.

This patch delays the coarse realtime check until after we have loaded
successfully from the vdso datapage. This does mean that we always load
the wtm timespec, but conditionalising the load and adding an extra
sequence test is unlikely to buy us anything other than messy code,
particularly as the sequence test implies a read barrier.

251db45336 arm64: vdso: fix clocksource mask when extracting bottom 56 bits
The generic timer clocksource has 56 bits of precision and as such must
be masked appropriately after we have read it. The current mask
generated by a movn instruction is off by 4 bits, so we accidentally
include the top 4 bits in the final value.

This patch fixes the broken mask.

9031fefde6 arm64: VDSO support
This patch adds VDSO support for 64-bit applications. The VDSO code is
currently used for sys_rt_sigreturn() and optimised gettimeofday()
(using the user-accessible generic counter).
