riscv: vdso.lds.S: remove hardcoded 0x800 .text start addr 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.

RISC-V: Add hwprobe vDSO function and data Add a vDSO function __vdso_riscv_hwprobe, which can sit in front of the riscv_hwprobe syscall and answer common queries. We stash a copy of static answers for the "all CPUs" case in the vDSO data page. This data is private to the vDSO, so we can decide later to change what's stored there or under what conditions we defer to the syscall. Currently all data can be discovered at boot, so the vDSO function answers all queries when the cpumask is set to the "all CPUs" hint. There's also a boolean in the data that lets the vDSO function know that all CPUs are the same. In that case, the vDSO will also answer queries for arbitrary CPU masks in addition to the "all CPUs" hint.

RISC-V: vdso: Do not add missing symbols to version section in linker script Recently, ld.lld moved from '--undefined-version' to '--no-undefined-version' as the default, which breaks the compat vDSO build: ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_4.15' to symbol '__vdso_gettimeofday' failed: symbol not defined ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_4.15' to symbol '__vdso_clock_gettime' failed: symbol not defined ld.lld: error: version script assignment of 'LINUX_4.15' to symbol '__vdso_clock_getres' failed: symbol not defined These symbols are not present in the compat vDSO or the regular vDSO for 32-bit but they are unconditionally included in the version section of the linker script, which is prohibited with '--no-undefined-version'. Fix this issue by only including the symbols that are actually exported in the version section of the linker script.

riscv: use vDSO common flow to reduce the latency of the time-related functions Even if RISC-V has supported the vDSO feature, the latency of the functions for obtaining the system time is still expensive. It is because these functions still trigger a corresponding system call in the process, which slows down the response time. If we want to remove the system call to reduce the latency, the kernel should have the ability to output the system clock information to userspace. This patch introduces the vDSO common flow to enable the kernel to achieve the above feature and uses "rdtime" instruction to obtain the current time in the user space. Under this condition, the latency cost by the ecall from U-mode to S-mode can be eliminated. After applying this patch, the latency of gettimeofday() measured on the HiFive unleashed board can be reduced by %61.

RISC-V: Allow userspace to flush the instruction cache Despite RISC-V having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to userspace (which we can't trap!), that's not actually viable when running on Linux because the kernel might schedule a process on another hart. There is no way for userspace to handle this without invoking the kernel (as it doesn't know the thread->hart mappings), so we've defined a RISC-V specific system call to flush the instruction cache. This patch adds both a system call and a VDSO entry. If possible, we'd like to avoid having the system call be considered part of the user-facing ABI and instead restrict that to the VDSO entry -- both just in general to avoid having additional user-visible ABI to maintain, and because we'd prefer that users just call the VDSO entry because there might be a better way to do this in the future (ie, one that doesn't require entering the kernel).
