[PATCH v6] powerpc/vdso64: Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE

[Santosh Sivaraj <santosh@fossix.org>]

Current vDSO64 implementation does not have support for coarse clocks
(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE), for which it falls back
to system call, increasing the response time, vDSO implementation reduces
the cycle time. Below is a benchmark of the difference in execution times.

(Non-coarse clocks are also included just for completion)

clock-gettime-realtime: syscall: 172 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    libc: 28 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    vdso: 22 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: syscall: 171 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    libc: 30 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    vdso: 25 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: syscall: 153 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    libc: 16 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 10 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: syscall: 167 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    libc: 17 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 11 nsec/call

Changelog:
v1:
- gettimeofday was moved from asm to C
- Coarse timer support addition
v2:
- Moved Syscall fallback from inline assembly back to its original place in
  __kernel_clock_gettime
v3:
- Based on Ben's input, coarse timer support was added in assembly itself
- Dropped idea of conversion to C due to the vdso update_count variable
  being optimized out in C
v4:
- Based on Naveen's comments restructured code to avoid a duplicate code
  block
v5:
- Skip creating dependency for registers that are not used for
  CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE (Naveen)
- Reorder instructions to get proper dependency setup (Naveen)
v6:
- Remove extra xor, r0 is already dependent on r8 and is 0 (Segher)
