The VDSO symbols can't be linked into built-in.o when building with
thin archives, so change this to linking a new object file that is
included into the built-in.o.

Build targets using if_changed(_rule) must depend on FORCE so that
they are evaluated every time.
In order to include .*.cmd files correctly, build targets added to
"targets" must not be prefixed with $(obj)/ because it is done by
scripts/Makefile.lib .

Previously we were using read_seqcount_begin(), which works fine until
lockdep is enabled in the kernel, at which point lockdep locking shows
up in the vdso and userspace will take a GPV accessing a kernel-only
SPR when calling gettimeofday() etc.

This change adds support for clock_gettime with CLOCK_REALTIME
and CLOCK_MONOTONIC using vDSO. It also updates the vdso
struct nomenclature used for the clocks to match the x86 code
to keep it easier to update going forward.
We also support the *_COARSE clockid_t, for apps that want speed
but aren't concerned about fine-grained timestamps; this saves
about 20 cycles per call (see http://lwn.net/Articles/342018/).

The code was only halfarsed converted to the new VSDO update mechanism
and still uses the inaccurate base value which lacks the fractional
part of xtime_nsec. Fix it up.

make allyesconfig give the following build error on tile:
tilegx-linux-gcc: error: arch/tile/kernel/vdso/vgettimeofday32.o: No such file or directory
tilegx-linux-objcopy: 'arch/tile/kernel/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg': No such file or directory
In case with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS, cmd_cc_o_c generate .tmp_<file>.o from
<file>.c only. Fix it by execute rule_cc_o_c instead.

This change creates the framework for vDSO calls, makes the existing
rt_sigreturn() mechanism use it, and adds a fast gettimeofday().
Now that we need to expose the vDSO address to userspace, we add
AT_SYSINFO_EHDR to the set of aux entries provided to userspace.
(You can disable any extra vDSO support by booting with vdso=0,
but the rt_sigreturn vDSO page will still be provided.)
Note that glibc has supported the tile vDSO since release 2.17.
