On powerpc64 as shown below by readelf, vDSO functions symbols have
type NOTYPE.

$ powerpc64-linux-gnu-readelf -a arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg
ELF Header:

  OS/ABI:                            UNIX - System V

  Version:                           0x1
...

Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 12 entries:
   Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
...
     1: 0000000000000524    84 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __[...]@@LINUX_2.6.15

     5: 00000000000006c0    48 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __[...]@@LINUX_2.6.15

Symbol table '.symtab' contains 56 entries:
   Num:    Value          Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
...
    45: 0000000000000000     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS LINUX_2.6.15
    46: 00000000000006c0    48 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __kernel_getcpu
    47: 0000000000000524    84 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __kernel_clock_getres

To overcome that, commit ba83b3239e65 ("selftests: vDSO: fix vDSO
symbols lookup for powerpc64") was applied to have selftests also
look for NOTYPE symbols, but the correct fix should be to flag VDSO
entry points as functions.

The original commit that brought VDSO support into powerpc/64 has the
following explanation:

    Note that the symbols exposed by the vDSO aren't "normal" function symbols, apps
    can't be expected to link against them directly, the vDSO's are both seen
    as if they were linked at 0 and the symbols just contain offsets to the
    various functions.  This is done on purpose to avoid a relocation step
    (ppc64 functions normally have descriptors with abs addresses in them).
    When glibc uses those functions, it's expected to use it's own trampolines
    that know how to reach them.

The descriptors it's talking about are the OPD function descriptors
used on ABI v1 (big endian). But it would be more correct for a text
symbol to have type function, even if there's no function descriptor
for it.

glibc has a special case already for handling the VDSO symbols which
creates a fake opd pointing at the kernel symbol. So changing the VDSO
symbol type to function shouldn't affect that.

For ABI v2, there is no function descriptors and VDSO functions can
safely have function type.

So lets flag VDSO entry points as functions and revert the
selftest change.

The previous commit introduced the use of CLONE_NEWTIME without including
&lt;sched.h&gt; which contains its definition.

Add an explicit include of &lt;sched.h&gt; to ensure that CLONE_NEWTIME
is correctly defined before it is used.

Rather than building on supported archs, build on all archs, and then
use the presence of the symbol in the vDSO to either skip the test or
move forward with it.

Note that this means that this test no longer checks whether the symbol
was correctly added to the kernel. But hopefully this will be clear
enough to developers and we'll cross our fingers that symbols aren't
removed by accident and not caught after this change.

Rather than using symlinks to find the vgetrandom-chacha.S file for each
arch, store this in a file that uses the compiler to determine
architecture, and then make use of weak symbols to skip the test on
architectures that don't provide the code.

This prevents false sharing, which makes a large difference on machines
with several NUMA nodes, such as on a dual socket Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold
6338 CPU @ 2.00GHz, where the "bench-multi" test goes from 2.7s down to
1.9s. While this is just test code, it also forms the basis of how folks
will wind up implementing this in libraries, so we should implement this
simple cache alignment improvement here.

When switching on -O2, gcc generates SSE2 instructions that assume a
16-byte aligned stack, which the standalone test's start point wasn't
aligning. Fix this with the usual alignment sequence.

<title>selftests: vDSO: check cpu caps before running chacha test</title>

Some archs -- arm64 and s390x -- implemented chacha using instructions
that are available most places, but aren't always available. The kernel
handles this just fine, but the selftest does not. Check the hwcaps
before running, and skip the test if the cpu doesn't support it. As
well, on s390x, always emit the fallback instructions of an alternative
block, to ensure maximum compatibility.
