While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro
that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. Defining
such a macro was necessary in the early days of the kernel, since GCC
only started providing __ASSEMBLER__ since version 3.0 in 2000 (see
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=f8f769ea4e69 ).
However, having two macros can be very confusing nowadays for the
developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding,
or when dealing with uapi headers that should use __ASSEMBLER__
instead. So let's now standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is
provided by the compilers.
This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple
"sed -i" statement), with just one comment tweaked manually in
arch/mips/include/asm/cpu.h (that was missing some underscores).

Accessing raw timers (currently only CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) through VDSO
doesn't return the correct time when using the GIC as clock source.
The address of the GIC mapped page is in this case not calculated
correctly. The GIC mapped page is calculated from the VDSO data by
subtracting PAGE_SIZE:
void *get_gic(const struct vdso_data *data) {
return (void __iomem *)data - PAGE_SIZE;
}
However, the data pointer is not page aligned for raw clock sources.
This is because the VDSO data for raw clock sources (CS_RAW = 1) is
stored after the VDSO data for coarse clock sources (CS_HRES_COARSE = 0).
Therefore, only the VDSO data for CS_HRES_COARSE is page aligned:
+--------------------+
| |
| vd[CS_RAW] | ---+
| vd[CS_HRES_COARSE] | |
+--------------------+ | -PAGE_SIZE
| | |
| GIC mapped page | <--+
| |
+--------------------+
When __arch_get_hw_counter() is called with &vd[CS_RAW], get_gic returns
the wrong address (somewhere inside the GIC mapped page). The GIC counter
values are not returned which results in an invalid time.

The mips vDSO library requires some adaptations to take advantage of the
newly introduced generic vDSO library.
Introduce the following changes:
- Modification of vdso.c to be compliant with the common vdso datapage
- Use of lib/vdso for gettimeofday
