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.

Having a static branch in cpu_relax() is problematic because that
function is widely inlined, including in some quite complex functions
like in the VDSO. A quick measurement shows this static branch is
responsible by itself for around 40% of the jump table.
Drop the static branch, which ends up being the same number of
instructions anyway. If Zihintpause is supported, we trade the nop from
the static branch for a div. If Zihintpause is unsupported, we trade the
jump from the static branch for (what gets interpreted as) a nop.

It is not sufficient to check if a toolchain supports a particular
extension without checking if the linker supports that extension
too. For example, Clang 15 supports Zihintpause but GNU bintutils
2.35.2 does not, leading build errors like so:
riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: -march=rv64i2p0_m2p0_a2p0_c2p0_zihintpause2p0: Invalid or unknown z ISA extension: 'zihintpause'
Add a TOOLCHAIN_HAS_ZIHINTPAUSE which checks if each of the compiler,
assembler and linker support the extension. Replace the ifdef in the
vdso with one depending on this new symbol.

Implement generic vdso time namespace support which also enables time
namespaces for riscv. This is quite similar to what arm64 does.

MIPS already uses and S390 will need the vdso data pointer in
__arch_get_hw_counter().
This works nicely as long as the architecture does not support time
namespaces in the VDSO. With time namespaces enabled the regular
accessor to the vdso data pointer __arch_get_vdso_data() will return the
namespace specific VDSO data page for tasks which are part of a
non-root time namespace. This would cause the architectures which need
the vdso data pointer in __arch_get_hw_counter() to access the wrong
vdso data page.
Add a vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter() and hand it in
from the call sites in the core code. For architectures which do not need
the data pointer in their counter accessor function the compiler will just
optimize it out.
Fix up all existing architecture implementations and make MIPS utilize the
pointer instead of invoking the accessor function.
No functional change and no change in the resulting object code (except
MIPS).

Now that 'smp_read_barrier_depends()' has gone the way of the Norwegian
Blue, drop the inclusion of <asm/barrier.h> in 'asm-generic/rwonce.h'.
This requires fixups to some architecture vdso headers which were
previously relying on 'asm/barrier.h' coming in via 'linux/compiler.h'.

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.
