Since the generic VDSO clock mode storage is used, this header file is unused and can be removed.
This avoids including a non-VDSO header while building the VDSO, which can lead to compilation errors.
Also drop the comment which is out of date and in the wrong place.

The vDSO data page "union vdso_data_store" is defined in an ARM specific header file and also defined in several other places.
Move the definition from the ARM header file into the generic vdso datapage header to make it also usable for others and to prevent code duplication.

ARM: 9300/1: Replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy
strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

ARM: 8683/1: ARM32: Support mremap() for sigpage/vDSO
CRIU restores application mappings on the same place where they were before Checkpoint. That means, that we need to move vDSO and sigpage during restore on exactly the same place where they were before C/R.
Make mremap() code update mm->context.{sigpage,vdso} pointers during VMA move. Sigpage is used for landing after handling a signal - if the pointer is not updated during moving, the application might crash on any signal after mremap().
vDSO pointer on ARM32 is used only for setting auxv at this moment, update it during mremap() in case of future usage.
Without those updates, current work of CRIU on ARM32 is not reliable. Historically, we error Checkpointing if we find vDSO page on ARM32 and suggest user to disable CONFIG_VDSO. But that's not correct - it goes from x86 where signal processing is ended in vDSO blob. For arm32 it's sigpage, which is not disabled with `CONFIG_VDSO=n'.
Looks like C/R was working by luck - because userspace on ARM32 at this moment always sets SA_RESTORER.

ARM: 8597/1: VDSO: put RO and RO after init objects into proper sections
vdso_data_mapping is never modified, so mark it as const.
vdso_total_pages, vdso_data_page, vdso_text_mapping and cntvct_ok are initialized by vdso_init(), thereafter are read only.
The fact that they are read only after init makes them candidates for __ro_after_init declarations.

ARM: 8410/1: VDSO: fix coarse clock monotonicity regression
Since 906c55579a63 ("timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the real timekeeper last") it has become possible on ARM to:
- Obtain a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE timestamp via syscall. - Subsequently obtain a timestamp for the same clock ID via VDSO which predates the first timestamp (by one jiffy).
This is because ARM's update_vsyscall is deriving the coarse time using the __current_kernel_time interface, when it should really be using the timekeeper object provided to it by the timekeeping core. It happened to work before only because __current_kernel_time would access the same timekeeper object which had been passed to update_vsyscall. This is no longer the case.

ARM: 8331/1: VDSO initialization, mapping, and synchronization
Initialize the VDSO page list at boot, install the VDSO mapping at exec time, and update the data page during timer ticks. This code is not built if CONFIG_VDSO is not enabled.
Account for the VDSO length when randomizing the offset from the stack. The [vdso] and [vvar] pages are placed immediately following the sigpage with separate _install_special_mapping calls.
We want to "penalize" systems lacking the arch timer as little as possible. Previous versions of this code installed the VDSO unconditionally and unmodified, making it a measurably slower way for glibc to invoke the real syscalls on such systems. E.g. calling gettimeofday via glibc goes from ~560ns to ~630ns on i.MX6Q.
If we can indicate to glibc that the time-related APIs in the VDSO are not accelerated, glibc can continue to invoke the syscalls directly instead of dispatching through the VDSO only to fall back to the slow path.
Thus, if the architected timer is unusable for whatever reason, patch the VDSO at boot time so that symbol lookups for gettimeofday and clock_gettime return NULL. (This is similar to what powerpc does and borrows code from there.) This allows glibc to perform the syscall directly instead of passing control to the VDSO, which minimizes the penalty. In my measurements the time taken for a gettimeofday call via glibc goes from ~560ns to ~580ns (again on i.MX6Q), and this is solely due to adding a test and branch to glibc's gettimeofday syscall wrapper.
An alternative to patching the VDSO at boot would be to not install the VDSO at all when the arch timer isn't usable. Another alternative is to include a separate "dummy" vdso.so without gettimeofday and clock_gettime, which would be selected at boot time. Either of these would get cumbersome if the VDSO were to gain support for an API such as getcpu which is unrelated to arch timer support.
