Compiling the kernel with gcc12.3 W=2 results in shadowing warnings:

warning: declaration of '__pptr' shadows a previous local [-Wshadow]
  const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr);

note: in definition of macro '__put_unaligned_t'
  __pptr-&gt;x = (val);

note: in expansion of macro '__get_unaligned_t'
  __put_unaligned_t(type, __get_unaligned_t(type, src), dst);

__get_unaligned_t() and __put_unaligned_t() use a local variable named
'__pptr', which can lead to variable shadowing when these macros are used in
the same scope. This results in a -Wshadow warning during compilation.

To address this issue, rename the local variables within the macros to
ensure uniqueness.

To support multiple PTP clocks, the VDSO data structure needs to be
reworked. All clock specific data will end up in struct vdso_clock and in
struct vdso_time_data there will be an array of VDSO clocks.

Now that all preparatory changes are in place:

Split the clock related struct members into a separate struct
vdso_clock. Make sure all users are aware, that vdso_time_data is no longer
initialized as an array and vdso_clock is now the array inside
vdso_data. Remove the vdso_clock define, which mapped it to vdso_time_data
for the transition.

Architecture related vdso data is required in the fast path when reading
CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. At the moment, this information is
located at the end of the vdso_time_data structure, which is a suboptimal
cache layout.

Move the architecture specific VDSO data right before the basetime
information, which is always required. This change does not have an impact
on architectures with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_VDSO_DATA=n. Architectures, which
have it enabled, gain a better cache layout.

To support multiple PTP clocks, the VDSO data structure needs to be
reworked. All clock specific data will end up in struct vdso_clock and in
struct vdso_time_data there will be an array of VDSO clocks. For now,
vdso_clock is simply a define which maps vdso_clock to vdso_time_data.

Prepare all functions which need the pointer to the vdso_clock array to
work well after the structures get reworked. Replace the struct vdso_time_data
pointer with a struct vdso_clock pointer where applicable.

No functional change.

<content type='text'>
Multiple PTP clocks, which are independent of timekeeping, are required for
systems, which utilize PTP for synchronizing e.g. automation systems
independent of clock TAI.

PTP clocks are slow to access, but applications require fast access to the
relevant time similar to the regular timekeeping relevant clocks.

To prepare for that the VDSO data representation must be reworked. For
transition to the new structure of the vdso, add a define which maps
vdso_clock to vdso_data. This will be removed when all users are updated
step by step.

No functional change.

<title>vdso: Make vdso_time_data cacheline aligned</title>

vdso_time_data is not cacheline aligned at the moment. When instantiating
an array, the start of the second array member is not cache line aligned.

This increases the number of the required cache lines which needs to be
read when handling e.g. CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, because the data spawns an
extra cache line if the previous data does not end at a cache line
boundary.

Therefore make struct vdso_time_data cacheline aligned.

The vDSO implementation can only include headers from the vdso/
namespace. To enable the usage of ____cacheline_aligned from
the vDSO, move it and its dependencies into a new header vdso/cache.h.
Keep compatibility by including vdso/cache.h from linux/cache.h.

Some architectures need to expose architecture-specific data to the vDSO.

Enable the generic vDSO storage mechanism to both store and map this
data. Some architectures require more than a single page, like LoongArch,
so prepare for that usecase, too.
