mips: Do not include hi and lo in clobber list for R6

From [1]
"GCC 10 (PR 91233) won't silently allow registers that are not
architecturally available to be present in the clobber list anymore,
resulting in build failure for mips*r6 targets in form of:
...
.../sysdep.h:146:2: error: the register ‘lo’ cannot be clobbered in ‘asm’ for the current target
146 | __asm__ volatile ( \
| ^~~~~~~

This is because base R6 ISA doesn't define hi and lo registers w/o DSP
extension. This patch provides the alternative clobber list for r6 targets
that won't include those registers."

Since kernel 5.4 and mips support for generic vDSO [2], the kernel fail to
build for mips r6 cpus with gcc 10 for the same reason as glibc.

vdso/treewide: Add vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter()

MIPS already uses and S390 will need the vdso data pointer in
__arch_get_hw_counter().

This works nicely as long as the architecture does not support time
namespaces in the VDSO. With time namespaces enabled the regular
accessor to the vdso data pointer __arch_get_vdso_data() will return the
namespace specific VDSO data page for tasks which are part of a
non-root time namespace. This would cause the architectures which need
the vdso data pointer in __arch_get_hw_counter() to access the wrong
vdso data page.

Add a vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter() and hand it in
from the call sites in the core code. For architectures which do not need
the data pointer in their counter accessor function the compiler will just
optimize it out.

Fix up all existing architecture implementations and make MIPS utilize the
pointer instead of invoking the accessor function.

No functional change and no change in the resulting object code (except
MIPS).

mips: vdso: Remove unused VDSO_HAS_32BIT_FALLBACK

VDSO_HAS_32BIT_FALLBACK has been removed from the core since
the architectures that support the generic vDSO library have
been converted to support the 32 bit fallbacks.

Remove unused VDSO_HAS_32BIT_FALLBACK from mips vdso.

mips: Fix gettimeofday() in the vdso library

The libc provides a discovery mechanism for vDSO library and its
symbols. When a symbol is not exposed by the vDSOs the libc falls back
on the system calls.

With the introduction of the unified vDSO library on mips this behavior
is not honored anymore by the kernel in the case of gettimeofday().

The issue has been noticed and reported due to a dhclient failure on the
CI20 board:

root@letux:~# dhclient
../../../../lib/isc/unix/time.c:200: Operation not permitted
root@letux:~#

Restore the original behavior fixing gettimeofday() in the vDSO library.

mips: vdso: Fix __arch_get_hw_counter()

On some MIPS variants (e.g. MIPS r1), vDSO clock_mode is set to
VDSO_CLOCK_NONE.

When VDSO_CLOCK_NONE is set the expected kernel behavior is to fallback
on syscalls. To do that the generic vDSO library expects UULONG_MAX as
return value of __arch_get_hw_counter().

Fix __arch_get_hw_counter() on MIPS defining a __VDSO_USE_SYSCALL case
that addressed the described scenario.

# 932bb934 30-Aug-2019 Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com>

mips: compat: vdso: Use legacy syscalls as fallback

The generic VDSO implementation uses the Y2038 safe clock_gettime64() and
clock_getres_time64() syscalls as fallback for 32bit VDSO. This breaks
seccomp setups because these syscalls might be not (yet) allowed.

Implement the 32bit variants which use the legacy syscalls and select the
variant in the core library.

The 64bit time variants are not removed because they are required for the
time64 based vdso accessors.
