Fully stripping the vDSO has other unfortunate side effects:
- binutils is unable to find ELF notes without a SHT_NOTE section.
- Even elfutils has trouble: it can find ELF notes without a section
table at all, but if a section table is present, it won't look for
PT_NOTE.
- gdb wants section names to match between stripped DSOs and their
symbols; otherwise it will corrupt symbol addresses.
We're also breaking the rules: section 0 is supposed to be SHT_NULL.
Fix these problems by building a better fake section table. While
we're at it, we might as well let buggy Go versions keep working well
by giving the SHT_DYNSYM entry the correct size.
This is a bit unfortunate: it adds quite a bit of size to the vdso
image.
If/when binutils improves and the improved versions become widespread,
it would be worth considering dropping most of this.

Currently, vdso.so files are prepared and analyzed by a combination
of objcopy, nm, some linker script tricks, and some simple ELF
parsers in the kernel. Replace all of that with plain C code that
runs at build time.
All five vdso images now generate .c files that are compiled and
linked in to the kernel image.
This should cause only one userspace-visible change: the loaded vDSO
images are stripped more heavily than they used to be. Everything
outside the loadable segment is dropped. In particular, this causes
the section table and section name strings to be missing. This
should be fine: real dynamic loaders don't load or inspect these
tables anyway. The result is roughly equivalent to eu-strip's
--strip-sections option.
The purpose of this change is to enable the vvar and hpet mappings
to be moved to the page following the vDSO load segment. Currently,
it is possible for the section table to extend into the page after
the load segment, so, if we map it, it risks overlapping the vvar or
hpet page. This happens whenever the load segment is just under a
multiple of PAGE_SIZE.
The only real subtlety here is that the old code had a C file with
inline assembler that did 'call VDSO32_vsyscall' and a linker script
that defined 'VDSO32_vsyscall = __kernel_vsyscall'. This most
likely worked by accident: the linker script entry defines a symbol
associated with an address as opposed to an alias for the real
dynamic symbol __kernel_vsyscall. That caused ld to relocate the
reference at link time instead of leaving an interposable dynamic
relocation. Since the VDSO32_vsyscall hack is no longer needed, I
now use 'call __kernel_vsyscall', and I added -Bsymbolic to make it
work. vdso2c will generate an error and abort the build if the
resulting image contains any dynamic relocations, so we won't
silently generate bad vdso images.
(Dynamic relocations are a problem because nothing will even attempt
to relocate the vdso.)

The new symbols provide the same API as the 64-bit variants, so they
should have the same symbol version name. This can't break
userspace, since these symbols are new for 32-bit Linux.

This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer.
Due the nature of the kernel headers and the LP64 compiler where the
size of a long and a pointer differs against a 32 bit compiler, there
is some type hacking necessary for optimal performance.
The vsyscall_gtod_data struture must be a rearranged to serve 32- and
64-bit code access at the same time:
- The seqcount_t was replaced by an unsigned, this makes the
vsyscall_gtod_data intedepend of kernel configuration and internal functions.
- All kernel internal structures are replaced by fix size elements
which works for 32- and 64-bit access
- The inner struct clock was removed to pack the whole struct.
The "unsigned seq" would be handled by functions derivated from seqcount_t.

For 32 bit programs running on a 32 bit kernel, the same mechanism is

The compat vDSO is a complicated hack that's needed to maintain
compatibility with a small range of glibc versions.
This removes it and replaces it with a much simpler hack: a config
option to disable the 32-bit vDSO by default.
This also changes the default value of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO to n --
users configuring kernels from scratch almost certainly want that
choice.

When we enter a 32-bit system call via SYSENTER or SYSCALL, we shuffle
the arguments to match the int $0x80 calling convention. This was
probably a design mistake, but it's what it is now. This causes
errors if the system call as to be restarted.
For SYSENTER, we have to invoke the instruction from the vdso as the
return address is hardcoded. Accordingly, we can simply replace the
jump in the vdso with an int $0x80 instruction and use the slower
entry point for a post-restart.

Some assembler versions automagically optimize .eh_frame contents,
changing their size. The CFI in sysenter.S was not using optimal
formatting, so it would be changed by newer/smarter assemblers.
This ran afoul of the wired constant for padding out the other vDSO
images to match its size. This changes the original hand-coded
source to use the optimal format encoding for its operations. That
leaves nothing more for a fancy assembler to do, so the sizes will
match the wired-in expected size regardless of the assembler version.

This reorders the code in the 32-bit vDSO images to put the signal
trampolines first and __kernel_vsyscall after them. The order does
not matter to userland, it just uses what AT_SYSINFO or e_entry
says. Since the signal trampolines are the same size in both
versions of the vDSO, putting them first is the simplest way to get
the addresses to line up. This makes it work to use a more compact
layout for the vDSO.
