Will Deacon 45a7905fc4 arm64: vdso: defer shifting of nanosecond component of timespec
Shifting the nanosecond component of the computed timespec early can
lead to sub-ns inaccuracies when using the truncated value as input to
further arithmetic for things like conversions to monotonic time.

This patch defers the timespec shifting until after the final value has
been computed.

With commit 576094b7 (time: Introduce new GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL) the old
update_vsyscall() prototype is no longer available. This patch updates
the arm64 port.

Will Deacon 9031fefde6 arm64: VDSO support
This patch adds VDSO support for 64-bit applications. The VDSO code is
currently used for sys_rt_sigreturn() and optimised gettimeofday()
(using the user-accessible generic counter).
