The pvclock vdso code was too abstracted to understand easily
and excessively paranoid. Simplify it for a huge speedup.
This opens the door for additional simplifications, as the vdso
no longer accesses the pvti for any vcpu other than vcpu 0.
Before, vclock_gettime using kvm-clock took about 45ns on my
machine. With this change, it takes 29ns, which is almost as
fast as the pure TSC implementation.

What, you didn't realize that SYSENTER and SYSCALL were actually
the same thing? :)
Unlike the old code, this actually passes the ptrace_syscall_32
test on AMD systems.

The goal is to integrate the SYSENTER and SYSCALL32 entry paths
with the INT80 path. SYSENTER clobbers ESP and EIP. SYSCALL32
clobbers ECX (and, invisibly, R11). SYSRETL (long mode to
compat mode) clobbers ECX and, invisibly, R11. SYSEXIT (which
we only need for native 32-bit) clobbers ECX and EDX.
This means that we'll need to provide ESP to the kernel in a
register (I chose ECX, since it's only needed for SYSENTER) and
we need to provide the args that normally live in ECX and EDX in
memory.
The epilogue needs to restore ECX and EDX, since user code
relies on regs being preserved.
We don't need to do anything special about EIP, since the kernel
already knows where we are. The kernel will eventually need to
know where int $0x80 lands, so add a vdso_image entry for it.
The only user-visible effect of this code is that ptrace-induced
changes to ECX and EDX during fast syscalls will be lost. This
is already the case for the SYSENTER path.

Maintaining the current CFI annotations written in R'lyehian is
difficult for most of us. Translate them to something a little
closer to English.
This will remove the CFI data for kernels built with extremely
old versions of binutils. I think this is a fair tradeoff for
the ability for mortals to edit the asm.

32-bit userspace will now always see the same vDSO, which is
exactly what used to be the int80 vDSO. Subsequent patches will

In case of CONFIG_X86_64, vdso32/vclock_gettime.c fakes a 32-bit
non-PAE kernel configuration by re-defining it to CONFIG_X86_32.
However, it does not re-define CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS leaving it
as 4 levels.
This mismatch leads <asm/pgtable_type.h> to NOT include <asm-generic/
pgtable-nopud.h> and <asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h>, which will cause
compile errors when a later patch enhances <asm/pgtable_type.h> to
use PUD_SHIFT and PMD_SHIFT. These -nopud & -nopmd headers define
these SHIFTs for the 32-bit non-PAE kernel.
Fix it by re-defining CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS to 2 levels.

Some dynamic loaders may be slightly faster if a GNU hash is
available. Strangely, this seems to have no effect at all on
the vdso size.
This is unlikely to have any measurable effect on the time it
takes to resolve vdso symbols (since there are so few of them).
In some contexts, it can be a win for a different reason: if
every DSO has a GNU hash section, then libc can avoid
calculating SysV hashes at all. Both musl and glibc appear to
have this optimization.
It's plausible that this breaks some ancient glibc version. If
so, then, depending on what glibc versions break, we could
either require COMPAT_VDSO for them or consider reverting.

rdtsc_barrier(); rdtsc() is an unnecessary mouthful and requires
more thought than should be necessary. Add an rdtsc_ordered()
helper and replace the trivial call sites with it.
This should not change generated code. The duplication of the
