Such relocation causes crash of android linker similar to one
described in commit e05d57dcb8c7
("riscv: Fixup __vdso_gettimeofday broke dynamic ftrace").

Looks like this relocation is added by CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE which is
disabled in the default android kernel.

Before:

readelf -rW arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so:

Relocation section '.rela.dyn' at offset 0xd00 contains 1 entry:
    Offset             Info             Type
0000000000000d20  0000000000000003 R_RISCV_RELATIVE

objdump:

After:
readelf -rW arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so:

There are no relocations in this file.

objdump:

Also disable SCS since it also should not be available in vdso.

Introduce the first flag for the hwprobe syscall. The flag basically
reverses its behavior, i.e. instead of populating the values of keys
for a given set of cpus, the set of cpus after the call is the result
of finding a set which supports the values of the keys. In order to
do this, we implement a pair compare function which takes the type of
value (a single value vs. a bitmask of booleans) into consideration.
We also implement vdso support for the new flag.

<title>RISC-V: hwprobe: Clarify cpus size parameter</title>

<content type='text'>
The "count" parameter associated with the 'cpus' parameter of the
hwprobe syscall is the size in bytes of 'cpus'. Naming it 'cpu_count'
may mislead users (it did me) to think it's the number of CPUs that
are or can be represented by 'cpus' instead. This is particularly
easy (IMO) to get wrong since 'cpus' is documented to be defined by
CPU_SET(3) and CPU_SET(3) also documents a CPU_COUNT() (the number
of CPUs in set) macro. CPU_SET(3) refers to the size of cpu sets
with 'setsize'. Adopt 'cpusetsize' for the hwprobe parameter and
specifically state it is in bytes in Documentation/riscv/hwprobe.rst
to clarify.

<title>arch: vdso: consolidate gettime prototypes</title>

<id>42874e4eb35bdfc54f8514685e50434098ba4f6c</id>
<content type='text'>
The VDSO functions are defined as globals in the kernel sources but intended
to be called from userspace, so there is no need to declare them in a kernel
side header.

Without a prototype, this now causes warnings such as

arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:14:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:28:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:36:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_getres' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:42:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime64' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:254:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:282:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:307:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:343:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Most architectures have already added workarounds for these by adding
declarations somewhere, but since these are all compatible, we should
really just have one copy, with an #ifdef check for the 32-bit vs
64-bit variant and use that everywhere.

Unfortunately, the sparc an um versions are currently incompatible
since they never added support for __vdso_clock_gettime64() in 32-bit
userland. For the moment, I'm leaving this one out, as I can't
easily test it and it requires a larger rework.

<title>riscv: Use SYM_*() assembly macros instead of deprecated ones</title>

ENTRY()/END()/WEAK() macros are deprecated and we should make use of the
new SYM_*() macros [1] for better annotation of symbols. Replace the
deprecated ones with the new ones and fix wrong usage of END()/ENDPROC()
to correctly describe the symbols.

Jisheng Zhang &lt;jszhang@kernel.org&gt; says:

This series renews one of my last year RFC patch[1], tries to improve
the vdso layout a bit.

patch1 removes useless symbols
patch2 merges .data section of vdso into .rodata because they are
readonly
patch3 is the real renew patch, it removes hardcoded 0x800 .text start
addr. But I rewrite the commit msg per Andrew's suggestions and move
move .note, .eh_frame_hdr, and .eh_frame between .rodata and .text to
keep the actual code well away from the non-instruction data.

* b4-shazam-merge:
  riscv: vdso.lds.S: remove hardcoded 0x800 .text start addr
  riscv: vdso.lds.S: merge .data section into .rodata section
  riscv: vdso.lds.S: drop __alt_start and __alt_end symbols

I believe the hardcoded 0x800 and related comments come from the long
history VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET in x86 vdso code, but commit 5b9304933730
("x86 vDSO: generate vdso-syms.lds") and commit f6b46ebf904f ("x86
vDSO: new layout") removes the comment and hard coding for x86.

Similar as x86 and other arch, riscv doesn't need the rigid layout
using VDSO_TEXT_OFFSET since it "no longer matters to the kernel".
so we could remove the hard coding now, and removing it brings a
small vdso.so and aligns with other architectures.

Also, having enough separation between data and text is important for
I-cache, so similar as x86, move .note, .eh_frame_hdr, and .eh_frame
between .rodata and .text.
