[PATCHv6 22/36] x86/vdso: Add offsets page in vvar

Dmitry Safonov dima at arista.com

From: Andrei Vagin <avagin at openvz.org>

As modern applications fetch time from VDSO without entering the kernel,
it's needed to provide offsets for userspace code inside time namespace.

A page for timens offsets is allocated on time namespace construction.
Put that page into VVAR for tasks inside timens and zero page for
host processes.

As VDSO code is already optimized as much as possible in terms of speed,
any new if-condition in VDSO code is undesirable; the goal is to provide
two .so(s), as was originally suggested by Andy and Thomas:
- for host tasks with optimized-out clk_to_ns() without any penalty
- for processes inside timens with clk_to_ns()
For this purpose, define clk_to_ns() under CONFIG_TIME_NS.

To eliminate any performance regression, clk_to_ns() will be called
under static_branch with follow-up patches, that adds support for
patching vdso.

VDSO mappings are platform-specific, add Kconfig dependency for arch.
