RDPID instruction outputs to a word-sized register (64-bit on
x86_64 and 32-bit on x86_32). Use unsigned long variable to use
the correct size.
LSL outputs to 32-bit register, use %k operand prefix
to always print 32-bit name of the register.

Current minimum required version of binutils is 2.30,
which supports RDPID instruction mnemonic.
Replace the byte-wise specification of RDPID with
this proper mnemonic.
No functional change intended.

x86/vdso: Fix output operand size of RDPID
RDPID instruction outputs to a word-sized register (64-bit on x86_64 and
32-bit on x86_32). Use an unsigned long variable to store the correct size.
LSL outputs to 32-bit register, use %k operand prefix to always print the
32-bit name of the register.
Use RDPID insn mnemonic while at it as the minimum binutils version of
2.30 supports it.

The 1/2 patch is intended to be backportable (only this part carries
"Fixes" designation). The 2/2 patch introduces RDPID mnemonic that
requires binutils-2.30, so the second part is not backportable to
branches that still require binutils-2.25.

No, because ".byte 0xf3,0x0f,0xc7,0xf8" encodes "RDPID %rax" on 64-bit
targets and we are only interested in the lower 32-bits anyway.
So, the change only matters on the 64-bit target when mnemonic is used
(there is no RDPID %eax" instruction), but the patch should not be
backported for the reasons outlined in my previous message. OTOH, "LSL
%eax,%eax" zero-extends to the full 64-bit register width on 64-bit
targets even when 32-bit register form is used.
Thanks,
Uros.
