Add extern declarations for vDSO time-related functions to notify the
compiler these functions will be used in somewhere to avoid
"no previous prototype" compile warning.

The time related vDSO functions use a variable, vdso_data, to access the
vDSO data page to get the system time information. Because the vdso_data
for CFLAGS_vgettimeofday.o is an external variable defined in vdso.o,
the CFLAGS_vgettimeofday.o should be compiled with -fPIC to ensure
that vdso_data is addressable.

Even if RISC-V has supported the vDSO feature, the latency of the functions
for obtaining the system time is still expensive. It is because these
functions still trigger a corresponding system call in the process, which
slows down the response time. If we want to remove the system call to
reduce the latency, the kernel should have the ability to output the system
clock information to userspace. This patch introduces the vDSO common flow
to enable the kernel to achieve the above feature and uses "rdtime"
instruction to obtain the current time in the user space. Under this
condition, the latency cost by the ecall from U-mode to S-mode can be
eliminated. After applying this patch, the latency of gettimeofday()
measured on the HiFive unleashed board can be reduced by %61.

When building with the LLVM linker this error occurrs:
LD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.o
ld.lld: error: no input files
This happens because the lld treats -R as an alias to -rpath, as opposed
to ld where -R means --just-symbols.
Use the long option name for compatibility between the two.

We don't yet have an upstream glibc port for riscv, so there is no user
space for the existing ABI, and we can remove the definitions for 32-bit
time_t, off_t and struct resource and system calls based on them,
including the vdso.

If you use a 64-bit compiler to build a 32-bit kernel then you'll get an
error when building the vDSO due to a library mismatch. The happens
because the relevant "-march" argument isn't supplied to the GCC run
that generates one of the vDSO intermediate files.
I'm not actually sure what the right thing to do here is as I'm not
particularly familiar with the kernel build system. I poked the
documentation and it appears that KCFLAGS is the correct thing to do
(it's suggested that should be used when building modules), but we set
KBUILD_CFLAGS in arch/riscv/Makefile.
This does at least fix the build error.

Debian toolcahin defaults to PIE, and I guess that will also be the case
of most distributions. This causes the following build failure:
AS arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/getcpu.o
AS arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/flush_icache.o
VDSOLD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg
OBJCOPY arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.so
AS arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso.o
VDSOLD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-dummy.o
LD arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-syms.o
riscv64-linux-gnu-ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `arch/riscv/kernel/vdso/vdso-dummy.o'

make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:575: arch/riscv/kernel/vdso] Error 2
make: *** [Makefile:1018: arch/riscv/kernel] Error 2
While the root Makefile correctly passes "-fno-PIE" to build individual
object files, the RISC-V kernel also builds vdso-dummy.o as an
executable, which is therefore linked as PIE. Fix that by updating this
specific link rule to also include "-no-pie".

We were hoping to avoid making this visible to userspace, but it looks
like we're going to have to because QEMU's user-mode emulation doesn't
want to emulate a vDSO. Having vDSO-only system calls was a bit
unothodox anyway, so I think in this case it's OK to just make the
actual system call number public.
This patch simply moves the definition of __NR_riscv_flush_icache
availiable to userspace, which results in the deletion of the now empty
vdso-syscalls.h.
Changes since v1:
* I've moved the definition into uapi/asm/syscalls.h rathen than
uapi/asm/unistd.h. This allows me to keep asm/unistd.h, so we can
keep the syscall table macros sane.
* As a side effect of the above, this no longer disables all system
calls on RISC-V. Whoops!

Despite RISC-V having a direct 'fence.i' instruction available to
userspace (which we can't trap!), that's not actually viable when
running on Linux because the kernel might schedule a process on another
hart. There is no way for userspace to handle this without invoking the
kernel (as it doesn't know the thread->hart mappings), so we've defined
a RISC-V specific system call to flush the instruction cache.
This patch adds both a system call and a VDSO entry. If possible, we'd
like to avoid having the system call be considered part of the
user-facing ABI and instead restrict that to the VDSO entry -- both just
in general to avoid having additional user-visible ABI to maintain, and
because we'd prefer that users just call the VDSO entry because there
might be a better way to do this in the future (ie, one that doesn't
require entering the kernel).

For now these are just placeholders that execute the syscall. We will
later optimize them to avoid kernel crossings, but we'd like to have the
VDSO entries from the first released kernel version to make the ABI
