powerpc/vdso: Switch VDSO to generic C implementation.
With the C VDSO, the performance is slightly lower, but it is worth
it as it will ease maintenance and evolution, and also brings clocks
that are not supported with the ASM VDSO.
On an 8xx at 132 MHz, vdsotest with the ASM VDSO:
gettimeofday: vdso: 828 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime-coarse: vdso: 391 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 614 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 460 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 876 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 399 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 691 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 460 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 1026 nsec/call
On an 8xx at 132 MHz, vdsotest with the C VDSO:
gettimeofday: vdso: 955 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime-coarse: vdso: 545 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 592 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 545 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 941 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 545 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 591 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 545 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 940 nsec/call
It is even better for gettime with monotonic clocks.
Unsupported clocks with ASM VDSO:
clock-gettime-boottime: vdso: 3851 nsec/call
clock-gettime-tai: vdso: 3852 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 3396 nsec/call
Same clocks with C VDSO:
clock-gettime-tai: vdso: 941 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 1001 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 591 nsec/call
On an 8321E at 333 MHz, vdsotest with the ASM VDSO:
gettimeofday: vdso: 220 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime-coarse: vdso: 102 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 178 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 129 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 235 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 105 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 208 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 129 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 274 nsec/call
On an 8321E at 333 MHz, vdsotest with the C VDSO:
gettimeofday: vdso: 272 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime-coarse: vdso: 160 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 184 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 166 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 281 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 160 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 184 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 169 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 275 nsec/call
On a Power9 Nimbus DD2.2 at 3.8GHz, with the ASM VDSO:
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 35 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 16 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 18 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 522 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 598 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-raw: vdso: 520 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 34 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 16 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 18 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime-coarse: vdso: 517 nsec/call
getcpu: vdso: 8 nsec/call
gettimeofday: vdso: 25 nsec/call
And with the C VDSO:
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 37 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 20 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 21 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 19 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: vdso: 38 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic-raw: vdso: 20 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 37 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 20 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 20 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime-coarse: vdso: 19 nsec/call
getcpu: vdso: 8 nsec/call
gettimeofday: vdso: 28 nsec/call
