    s390/vdso: Wire up getrandom() vdso implementation · b920aa77
    Heiko Carstens authored
    Provide the s390 specific vdso getrandom() architecture backend.
    
    _vdso_rng_data required data is placed within the _vdso_data vvar page,
    by using a hardcoded offset larger than vdso_data.
    
    As required the chacha20 implementation does not write to the stack.
    
    The implementation follows more or less the arm64 implementations and
    makes use of vector instructions. It has a fallback to the getrandom()
    system call for machines where the vector facility is not installed.
    
    The check if the vector facility is installed, as well as an
    optimization for machines with the vector-enhancements facility 2, is
    implemented with alternatives, avoiding runtime checks.
    
    Note that __kernel_getrandom() is implemented without the vdso user
    wrapper which would setup a stack frame for odd cases (aka very old
    glibc variants) where the caller has not done that. All callers of
    __kernel_getrandom() are required to setup a stack frame, like the C ABI
    requires it.
    
    The vdso testcases vdso_test_getrandom and vdso_test_chacha pass.
    
    Benchmark on a z16:
    
        $ ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
           vdso: 25000000 times in 0.493703559 seconds
        syscall: 25000000 times in 6.584025337 seconds
