At one point the vDSO image was manually stripped down by vdso2c in an
attempt to minimize the size of the image mapped into userspace. Part
of that stripping process involved building a fake section table so as
not to break userspace processes that parse the section table. Memory
for the fake section table was reserved in the .rodata section so that
vdso2c could simply copy the entire PT_LOAD segment into the userspace
image after building the fake table.
Eventually, the entire fake section table approach was dropped in favor
of stripping the vdso "the old fashioned way", i.e. via objdump -S.
But, the reservation in .rodata for the fake table was left behind.
Remove the reserveration along with a few other related defines and
section entries.
Removing the fake section table placeholder zaps a whopping 0x340 bytes
from the 64-bit vDSO image, which drops the current image's size to
under 4k, i.e. reduces the effective size of the userspace vDSO mapping
by a full page.

Hyper-V TSC page clocksource is suitable for vDSO, however, the protocol
defined by the hypervisor is different from VCLOCK_PVCLOCK. Implement the
required support by adding hvclock_page VVAR.

The goal is to integrate the SYSENTER and SYSCALL32 entry paths
with the INT80 path. SYSENTER clobbers ESP and EIP. SYSCALL32
clobbers ECX (and, invisibly, R11). SYSRETL (long mode to
compat mode) clobbers ECX and, invisibly, R11. SYSEXIT (which
we only need for native 32-bit) clobbers ECX and EDX.
This means that we'll need to provide ESP to the kernel in a
register (I chose ECX, since it's only needed for SYSENTER) and
we need to provide the args that normally live in ECX and EDX in
memory.
The epilogue needs to restore ECX and EDX, since user code
relies on regs being preserved.
We don't need to do anything special about EIP, since the kernel
already knows where we are. The kernel will eventually need to
know where int $0x80 lands, so add a vdso_image entry for it.
The only user-visible effect of this code is that ptrace-induced
changes to ECX and EDX during fast syscalls will be lost. This
is already the case for the SYSENTER path.

32-bit userspace will now always see the same vDSO, which is
exactly what used to be the int80 vDSO. Subsequent patches will
clean it up and make it support SYSENTER and SYSCALL using
alternatives.
