Thomas Weißschuh 3e90ead2e7 selftests: vDSO: Fix -Wunitialized in powerpc VDSO_CALL() wrapper 
[ Upstream commit 9f15e0f9ef ]

The _rval register variable is meant to be an output operand of the asm
statement but is instead used as input operand.
clang 20.1 notices this and triggers -Wuninitialized warnings:

tools/testing/selftests/timers/auxclock.c:154:10: error: variable '_rval' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
  154 |                 return VDSO_CALL(self->vdso_clock_gettime64, 2, clockid, ts);
      |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tools/testing/selftests/timers/../vDSO/vdso_call.h:59:10: note: expanded from macro 'VDSO_CALL'
   59 |                 : "r" (_rval)                                           \
      |                        ^~~~~
tools/testing/selftests/timers/auxclock.c:154:10: note: variable '_rval' is declared here
tools/testing/selftests/timers/../vDSO/vdso_call.h:47:2: note: expanded from macro 'VDSO_CALL'
   47 |         register long _rval asm ("r3");                                 \
      |         ^

It seems the list of input and output operands have been switched around.
However as the argument registers are not always initialized they can not
be marked as pure inputs as that would trigger -Wuninitialized warnings.
Adding _rval as another input and output operand does also not work as it
would collide with the existing _r3 variable.

Instead reuse _r3 for both the argument and the return value.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
