This patch removes the architecture specific gettimeofday implementation
to use the vDSO symbol and consolidate it on a common Linux one.
Similar to clock_gettime and clock_getres vDSO implementation, each port
that supports gettimeofday through vDSO should just implement INLINE_VSYSCALL
to access the symbol and define HAVE_{GETTIME,GETRES}_VSYSCAL as 1.
This patch consolidate the Linux vDSO define and usage across all ports
that uses it. The common vDSO definitions and calling through
{INLINE/INTERNAL}_VSYSCALL macros are moved to a common header
sysdep-vdso.h and vDSO name declaration and prototype is defined
using a common macro.
Also PTR_{MANGLE,DEMANGLE} is added to ports that does not use them
for vDSO calls (aarch64, powerpc, s390, and tile) and thus it will
reflect in code changes. For ports that already implement pointer
mangling/demangling in vDSO system (i386, x32, x86_64) this patch
is mainly a code refactor.
Checked on x32, x86_64, x32, ppc64le, and aarch64.
This patch fixes backtrace for PPC32 and PPC64 to correctly handle
signal trampolines. The 'debug/tst-backtrace6.c' also check for
SA_SIGINFO handling, where is triggers another vDSO symbols for PPC32.
PowerPC kernel now provides a vDSO implementation for time syscall
(commit fcb41a2030abe0eb716ef0798035ef9562097f42). This patch changes
time syscall wrapper to use the vDSO when available. It also changes
the default non vDSO time on PowerPC to use sysdeps/posix/time.c
(since gettimeofday is a vDSO call).
In order for the __kernel_get_tbfreq vDSO call to work the
INTERNAL_VSYSCALL_NCS macro needed to be updated to prevent it from
assuming an integer return type (since the timebase frequency is a 64-bit
value) by specifying the type of the return type as a macro parameter. The
macro then specifically declares the return value as a 'register' (or
implied pair) of the denoted type. The compiler is then informed that this
register (or implied pair) is to be used for the return value.
