[ Upstream commit 0161bd38c24312853ed5ae9a425a1c41c4ac674a ]

On powerpc64 as shown below by readelf, vDSO functions symbols have
type NOTYPE.

    47: 0000000000000524    84 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    8 __kernel_clock_getres

To overcome that, commit ba83b3239e65 ("selftests: vDSO: fix vDSO
symbols lookup for powerpc64") was applied to have selftests also
look for NOTYPE symbols, but the correct fix should be to flag VDSO
entry points as functions.

The original commit that brought VDSO support into powerpc/64 has the
following explanation:

    Note that the symbols exposed by the vDSO aren't "normal" function symbols, apps
    can't be expected to link against them directly, the vDSO's are both seen
    as if they were linked at 0 and the symbols just contain offsets to the
    various functions.  This is done on purpose to avoid a relocation step
    (ppc64 functions normally have descriptors with abs addresses in them).
    When glibc uses those functions, it's expected to use it's own trampolines
    that know how to reach them.

The descriptors it's talking about are the OPD function descriptors
used on ABI v1 (big endian). But it would be more correct for a text
symbol to have type function, even if there's no function descriptor
for it.

glibc has a special case already for handling the VDSO symbols which
creates a fake opd pointing at the kernel symbol. So changing the VDSO
symbol type to function shouldn't affect that.

For ABI v2, there is no function descriptors and VDSO functions can
safely have function type.

So lets flag VDSO entry points as functions and revert the
selftest change.

[ Upstream commit ba83b3239e657469709d15dcea5f9b65bf9dbf34 ]

On powerpc64, following tests fail locating vDSO functions:

  ~ # ./vdso_test_abi

  __kernel_getrandom is missing!

  Could not find __kernel_gettimeofday

  ~ # ./vdso_test_getcpu

On powerpc64, as shown below by readelf, vDSO functions symbols have
type NOTYPE, so also accept that type when looking for symbols.

<title>selftests/vDSO: fix clang build errors and warnings</title>

[ Upstream commit 73810cd45b99c6c418e1c6a487b52c1e74edb20d ]

When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...there are several warnings, and an error. This fixes all of those and
allows these tests to run and pass.

1. Fix linker error (undefined reference to memcpy) by providing a local
   version of memcpy.

2. clang complains about using this form:

    if (g = h &amp; 0xf0000000)

...so factor out the assignment into a separate step.

3. The code is passing a signed const char* to elf_hash(), which expects
   a const unsigned char *. There are several callers, so fix this at
   the source by allowing the function to accept a signed argument, and
   then converting to unsigned operations, once inside the function.

4. clang doesn't have __attribute__((externally_visible)) and generates
   a warning to that effect. Fortunately, gcc 12 and gcc 13 do not seem
   to require that attribute in order to build, run and pass tests here,
   so remove it.

Both vdso_test_gettimeofday and vdso_standalone_test_x86 use the library in
parse_vdso.c but each separately declares the API it offers which is not
ideal. Create a header file with prototypes of the functions and use it in
both the library and the tests to ensure that the same prototypes are used
throughout.

the vDSO implementation of gettimeofday(). In preparation for adding
tests for other vDSO functionality rename this test to reflect what's
