Building vdso32 on power10 with pcrel leads to following errors:

	  VDSO32A arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday-32.o
	arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.S: Assembler messages:

	make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/Makefile:388: vdso_prepare] Error 2

Once the above is fixed, the following happens:

	  VDSO32C arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday-32.o

	make: *** [Makefile:251: __sub-make] Error 2

Make sure pcrel version of CFUNC() macro is used only for powerpc64
builds and remove -mpcrel for powerpc32 builds.

The generic storage implementation provides the same features as the
custom one. However it can be shared between architectures, making
maintenance easier.

As the Makefile is included into other Makefiles it can not be used to
define objects to be built from the current source directory.
However the generic datastore will introduce such a local source file.
Rename the included Makefile so it is clear how it is to be used and to
make room for a regular Makefile in lib/vdso/.

Unlike all other arches, powerpc doesn't allow the user to override CPP,
because it sets it unconditionally in the arch Makefile. This can lead
to strange build failures.

Instead add the required flags to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS, which are passed
to CPP, CC and AS invocations by the generic Makefile logic.

<title>powerpc/vdso: Drop -mstack-protector-guard flags in 32-bit files with clang</title>

<id>d677ce521334d8f1f327cafc8b1b7854b0833158</id>
<content type='text'>
Under certain conditions, the 64-bit '-mstack-protector-guard' flags may
end up in the 32-bit vDSO flags, resulting in build failures due to the
structure of clang's argument parsing of the stack protector options,
which validates the arguments of the stack protector guard flags
unconditionally in the frontend, choking on the 64-bit values when
targeting 32-bit:

  clang: error: invalid value 'r13' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r2
  clang: error: invalid value 'r13' in 'mstack-protector-guard-reg=', expected one of: r2
  make[3]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile:85: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday-32.o] Error 1
  make[3]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/Makefile:87: arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso/vgetrandom-32.o] Error 1

Remove these flags by adding them to the CC32FLAGSREMOVE variable, which
already handles situations similar to this. Additionally, reformat and
align a comment better for the expanding CONFIG_CC_IS_CLANG block.

VDSO time functions do not call any other function, so they don't
need to save/restore LR. However, retrieving the address of VDSO data
page requires using LR hence saving then restoring it, which can be
heavy on some CPUs. On the other hand, VDSO functions on powerpc are
not standard functions and require a wrapper function to call C VDSO
functions. And that wrapper has to save and restore LR in order to
call the C VDSO function, so retrieving VDSO data page address in that
wrapper doesn't require additional save/restore of LR.

For random VDSO functions it is a bit different. Because the function
calls __arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack(), it saves and restores LR.
Retrieving VDSO data page address can then be done there without
additional save/restore of LR.

So lets implement __arch_get_vdso_rng_data() and simplify the wrapper.

It starts paving the way for the day powerpc will implement a more
standard ABI for VDSO functions.

The page containing VDSO time data is swapped with the one containing
TIME namespace data when a process uses a non-root time namespace.
For other data like powerpc specific data and RNG data, it means
tracking whether time namespace is the root one or not to know which
page to use.

Simplify the logic behind by moving time data out of first data page
so that the first data page which contains everything else always
remains the first page. Time data is in the second or third page
depending on selected time namespace.

While we are playing with get_datapage macro, directly take into
account the data offset inside the macro instead of adding that offset
afterwards.

For gettimeofday, -ffixed-r30 was passed to work around a bug in Go
code, where the vDSO trampoline forgot to save and restore this register
across function calls. But Go requires a different trampoline for every
call, and there's no reason that new Go code needs to be broken and add
more bugs. So remove -ffixed-r30 for getrandom.

 - Reduce alignment constraints on STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and speed-up TLB
   misses on 8xx and 603

 - Replace kretprobe code with rethook and enable fprobe

 - Remove the "fast endian switch" syscall

 - Handle DLPAR device tree updates in kernel, allowing the deprecation
   of the binary /proc/powerpc/ofdt interface

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "Originally I'd planned on sending each of the vDSO getrandom()
  architecture ports to their respective arch trees. But as we started
  to work on this, we found lots of interesting issues in the shared
  code and infrastructure, the fixes for which the various archs needed
  to base their work.

  So in the end, this turned into a nice collaborative effort fixing up
  issues and porting to 5 new architectures -- arm64, powerpc64,
  powerpc32, s390x, and loongarch64 -- with everybody pitching in and
  commenting on each other's code. It was a fun development cycle.

  This contains:

   - Numerous fixups to the vDSO selftest infrastructure, getting it
     running successfully on more platforms, and fixing bugs in it.

   - Additions to the vDSO getrandom &amp; chacha selftests. Basically every
     time manual review unearthed a bug in a revision of an arch patch,
     or an ambiguity, the tests were augmented.

     By the time the last arch was submitted for review, s390x, v1 of
     the series was essentially fine right out of the gate.

   - Fixes to the the generic C implementation of vDSO getrandom, to
     build and run successfully on all archs, decoupling it from
     assumptions we had (unintentionally) made on x86_64 that didn't
     carry through to the other architectures.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to LoongArch64, from Xi Ruoyao and acked by
     Huacai Chen.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to ARM64, from Adhemerval Zanella and acked
     by Will Deacon.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to PowerPC, in both 32-bit and 64-bit
     varieties, from Christophe Leroy and acked by Michael Ellerman.

   - Port of vDSO getrandom to S390X from Heiko Carstens, the arch
     maintainer.

  While it'd be natural for there to be things to fix up over the course
  of the development cycle, these patches got a decent amount of review
  from a fairly diverse crew of folks on the mailing lists, and, for the
  most part, they've been cooking in linux-next, which has been helpful
  for ironing out build issues.

  In terms of architectures, I think that mostly takes care of the
  important 64-bit archs with hardware still being produced and running
  production loads in settings where vDSO getrandom is likely to help.

  Arguably there's still RISC-V left, and we'll see for 6.13 whether
  they find it useful and submit a port"
