The vDSO library should only include the necessary headers required for
a userspace library (UAPI and a minimal set of kernel headers). To make
this possible it is necessary to isolate from the kernel headers the
common parts that are strictly necessary to build the library.
Introduce asm/vdso/processor.h to contain all the arm64 specific
functions that are suitable for vDSO inclusion.

Introduce asm/vdso/clocksource.h to contain all the arm64 specific

This header will be required by a future patch that will generalize
vdso/clocksource.h.

The update of the VDSO data is depending on __arch_use_vsyscall() returning
True. This is a leftover from the attempt to map the features of various
architectures 1:1 into generic code.
The usage of __arch_use_vsyscall() in the actual vsyscall implementations
got dropped and replaced by the requirement for the architecture code to
return U64_MAX if the global clocksource is not usable in the VDSO.
But the __arch_use_vsyscall() check in the update code stayed which causes
the VDSO data to be stale or invalid when an architecture actually
implements that function and returns False when the current clocksource is
not usable in the VDSO.
As a consequence the VDSO implementations of clock_getres(), time(),
clock_gettime(CLOCK_.*_COARSE) operate on invalid data and return bogus
information.
Remove the __arch_use_vsyscall() check from the VDSO update function and
update the VDSO data unconditionally.

Older versions of binutils (prior to 2.24) do not support the "ISHLD"
option for memory barrier instructions, which leads to a build failure
when assembling the vdso32 library.
Add a compilation time mechanism that detects if binutils supports those
instructions and configure the kernel accordingly.

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.
