Linus Torvalds b923f1247b A set oftimekeeping/VDSO updates:
- Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO
    implementation.
 
    S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the counter
    read function when time namespace support is enabled. Adding the pointer
    is a NOOP for all other architectures because the compiler is supposed
    to optimize that out when it is unused in the architecture specific
    inline. The change also solved a similar problem for MIPS which
    fortunately has time namespaces not yet enabled.
 
    S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the
    timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another sequence
    counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is to utilize the
    already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The core code now exposes
    helper functions which allow to serialize against the timekeeper code
    and against concurrent readers.
 
    S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial
    common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It now has
    an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which defaults to an
    empty struct.
 
    Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and
    allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support to
    work from a common upstream base.
 
  - A trivial comment fix.
