The initial assumption that all VDSO related data can be completely generic
does not hold. S390 needs architecture specific storage to access the clock
steering information.
Add struct arch_vdso_data to the vdso data struct. For architectures which
do not need extra data this defaults to an empty struct. Architectures
which require it, enable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_VDSO_DATA and provide their
specific struct in asm/vdso/data.h.

Allocate the time namespace page among VVAR pages. Provide
__arch_get_timens_vdso_data() helper for VDSO code to get the
code-relative position of VVARs on that special page.
If a task belongs to a time namespace then the VVAR page which contains
the system wide VDSO data is replaced with a namespace specific page
which has the same layout as the VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq
set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data->clock_mode set to
VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path.
The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the VDSO data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again.
If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.
The time-namespace page isn't allocated on !CONFIG_TIME_NAMESPACE, but
vma is the same size, which simplifies criu/vdso migration between
different kernel configs.

While the explanation for time namespace <-> vdso interactions is very
helpful it uses the wrong name in the comment when describing the clock
mode making grepping a bit annoying.
This seems like an accidental oversight when moving from VCLOCK_TIMENS
to VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS. It seems that
660fd04f93 ("lib/vdso: Prepare for time namespace support") misspelled
VCLOCK_TIMENS as VLOCK_TIMENS which explains why it got missed when
VCLOCK_TIMENS became VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS in
2d6b01bd88 ("lib/vdso: Move VCLOCK_TIMENS to vdso_clock_modes").
Update the comment to use VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS.

The vDSO library should only include the necessary headers required for
a userspace library (UAPI and a minimal set of kernel headers). To make
this possible it is necessary to isolate from the kernel headers the
common parts that are strictly necessary to build the library.
Refactor the unified vdso code to use the common headers.

To support time namespaces in the vdso with a minimal impact on regular non
time namespace affected tasks, the namespace handling needs to be hidden in
a slow path.
The most obvious place is vdso_seq_begin(). If a task belongs to a time
namespace then the VVAR page which contains the system wide vdso data is
replaced with a namespace specific page which has the same layout as the
VVAR page. That page has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path
and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time
namespace handling path.
The extra check in the case that vdso_data->seq is odd, e.g. a concurrent
update of the vdso data is in progress, is not really affecting regular
tasks which are not part of a time namespace as the task is spin waiting
for the update to finish and vdso_data->seq to become even again.
If a time namespace task hits that code path, it invokes the corresponding
time getter function which retrieves the real VVAR page, reads host time
and then adds the offset for the requested clock which is stored in the
special VVAR page.
If VDSO time namespace support is disabled the whole magic is compiled out.
Initial testing shows that the disabled case is almost identical to the
host case which does not take the slow timens path. With the special timens
page installed the performance hit is constant time and in the range of
5-7%.
For the vdso functions which are not using the sequence count an
unconditional check for vdso_data->clock_mode is added which switches to
the real vdso when the clock_mode is VCLOCK_TIMENS.
[avagin: Make do_hres_timens() work with raw clocks too: choose vdso_data
pointer by CS_RAW offset.]

Define a common formet for the vdso datapage as a preparation for sharing
the VDSO implementation as a generic library.
The datastructures are based on the current x86 layout.
