Split kerne timekeep ABI structure vdso_sv_tk out of the struct
sysentvec. This allows the timekeep data to be shared between similar
ABIs which cannot share sysentvec.

Make the timekeep_push_vdso() tick callback to the timekeep structures
instead of sysentvecs. If several sysentvec share the vdso_sv_tk
structure, we would update the userspace data several times on each
tick, without the change.

Only allocate vdso_sv_tk in the exec_sysvec_init() sysinit when
sysentvec is marked with the new SV_TIMEKEEP flag. This saves
allocation and update of unneeded vdso_sv_tk for ABIs which do not
provide userspace gettimeofday yet, which are PowerPCs arches right
now.

Make vdso_sv_tk allocator public, namely split out and export
alloc_sv_tk() and alloc_sv_tk_compat32(). ABIs which share timekeep
data now can allocate it manually and share as appropriate.

Update the vdso timehands only via tc_windup().

Prior to this change CLOCK_MONOTONIC could go backwards when the timecounter
hardware was changed via 'sysctl kern.timecounter.hardware'. This happened
because the vdso timehands update was missing the special treatment in
tc_windup() when changing timecounters.

Rework the __vdso_* symbols attributes to only make the symbols weak,
but use normal references instead of weak. This makes the statically
linked binaries to use fast gettimeofday(2) by forcing the linker to
resolve references and providing the neccessary functions.

Stop updating the struct vdso_timehands from even handler executed in
the scheduled task from tc_windup(). Do it directly from tc_windup in
interrupt context [1].

Establish the permanent mapping of the shared page into the kernel
address space, avoiding the potential need to sleep waiting for
allocation of sf buffer during vdso_timehands update. As a
consequence, shared_page_write_start() and shared_page_write_end()
functions are not needed anymore.

Guess and memorize the pointers to native host and compat32 sysentvec
during initialization, to avoid the need to get shared_page_alloc_sx
lock during the update.

In tc_fill_vdso_timehands(), do not loop waiting for timehands
generation to stabilize, since vdso_timehands is written in the same
interrupt context which wrote timehands.

Implement mechanism to export some kernel timekeeping data to
usermode, using shared page. The structures and functions have vdso
prefix, to indicate the intended location of the code in some future.

The versioned per-algorithm data is exported in the format of struct
vdso_timehands, which mostly repeats the content of in-kernel struct
timehands. Usermode reading of the structure can be lockless.
Compatibility export for 32bit processes on 64bit host is also
provided. Kernel also provides usermode with indication about
currently used timecounter, so that libc can fall back to syscall if
configured timecounter is unknown to usermode code.

The shared data updates are initiated both from the tc_windup(), where
a fast task is queued to do the update, and from sysctl handlers which
change timecounter. A manual override switch
kern.timecounter.fast_gettime allows to turn off the mechanism.

Only x86 architectures export the real algorithm data, and there, only
for tsc timecounter. HPET counters page could be exported as well, but
I prefer to not further glue the kernel and libc ABI there until
proper vdso-based solution is developed.

Minimal stubs neccessary for non-x86 architectures to still compile
are provided.
