<title>powerpc/vdso32: inline __get_datapage()</title>

__get_datapage() is only a few instructions to retrieve the
address of the page where the kernel stores data to the VDSO.

By inlining this function into its users, a bl/blr pair and
a mflr/mtlr pair is avoided, plus a few reg moves.

The improvement is noticeable (about 55 nsec/call on an 8xx)

vdsotest before the patch:
gettimeofday:    vdso: 731 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 668 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 745 nsec/call

vdsotest after the patch:
gettimeofday:    vdso: 677 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 613 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 690 nsec/call

<title>powerpc/32: Add VDSO version of getcpu on non SMP</title>

Commit 18ad51dd342a ("powerpc: Add VDSO version of getcpu") added
getcpu() for PPC64 only, by making use of a user readable general
purpose SPR.

PPC32 doesn't have any such SPR.

For non SMP, just return CPU id 0 from the VDSO directly.
PPC32 doesn't support CONFIG_NUMA so NUMA node is always 0.

Before the patch, vdsotest reported:
getcpu: syscall: 1572 nsec/call
getcpu:    libc: 1787 nsec/call
getcpu:    vdso: not tested

Now, vdsotest reports:
getcpu: syscall: 1582 nsec/call
getcpu:    libc: 502 nsec/call
getcpu:    vdso: 187 nsec/call

clock_getres in the vDSO library has to preserve the same behaviour
of posix_get_hrtimer_res().

In particular, posix_get_hrtimer_res() does:
    sec = 0;
    ns = hrtimer_resolution;
and hrtimer_resolution depends on the enablement of the high
resolution timers that can happen either at compile or at run time.

Fix the powerpc vdso implementation of clock_getres keeping a copy of
hrtimer_resolution in vdso data and using that directly.

<content type='text'>
As a preparation to stop using 'struct timespec' in the kernel,
change the powerpc vdso implementation:

- split up the vdso data definition to have equivalent members
   for seconds and nanoseconds instead of an xtime structure

- use timespec64 as an intermediate for the xtime update

- change the asm-offsets definition to be based the appropriate
  fixed-length types

This is only a temporary fix for changing the types, in order
to actually support a 64-bit safe vdso32 version of clock_gettime(),
the entire powerpc vdso should be replaced with the generic
lib/vdso/ implementation. If that happens first, this patch
becomes obsolete.

- split up the vdso data definition to have equivalent members
   for seconds and nanoseconds instead of an xtime structure

- use timespec64 as an intermediate for the xtime update

- change the asm-offsets definition to be based the appropriate
  fixed-length types

This is only a temporary fix for changing the types, in order
to actually support a 64-bit safe vdso32 version of clock_gettime(),
the entire powerpc vdso should be replaced with the generic
lib/vdso/ implementation. If that happens first, this patch
becomes obsolete.
