Prepare for switching VDSO to generic C implementation in following patch. Here, we: - Prepare the helpers to call the C VDSO functions - Prepare the required callbacks for the C VDSO functions - Prepare the clocksource.h files to define VDSO_ARCH_CLOCKMODES - Add the C trampolines to the generic C VDSO functions powerpc is a bit special for VDSO as well as system calls in the way that it requires setting CR SO bit which cannot be done in C. Therefore, entry/exit needs to be performed in ASM. Implementing __arch_get_vdso_data() would clobber the link register, requiring the caller to save it. As the ASM calling function already has to set a stack frame and saves the link register before calling the C vdso function, retriving the vdso data pointer there is lighter. Implement __arch_vdso_capable() and always return true. Provide vdso_shift_ns(), as the generic x >> s gives the following bad result: 18: 35 25 ff e0 addic. r9,r5,-32 1c: 41 80 00 10 blt 2c <shift+0x14> 20: 7c 64 4c 30 srw r4,r3,r9 24: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 ... 2c: 54 69 08 3c rlwinm r9,r3,1,0,30 30: 21 45 00 1f subfic r10,r5,31 34: 7c 84 2c 30 srw r4,r4,r5 38: 7d 29 50 30 slw r9,r9,r10 3c: 7c 63 2c 30 srw r3,r3,r5 40: 7d 24 23 78 or r4,r9,r4 In our case the shift is always <= 32. In addition, the upper 32 bits of the result are likely nul. Lets GCC know it, it also optimises the following calculations. With the patch, we get: 0: 21 25 00 20 subfic r9,r5,32 4: 7c 69 48 30 slw r9,r3,r9 8: 7c 84 2c 30 srw r4,r4,r5 c: 7d 24 23 78 or r4,r9,r4 10: 7c 63 2c 30 srw r3,r3,r5 Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201126131006.2431205-6-mpe@ellerman.id.au
