Andrei Vagin d53b5c013e arm64/vdso: use the fault callback to map vvar pages
Currently the vdso has no awareness of time namespaces, which may
apply distinct offsets to processes in different namespaces. To handle
this within the vdso, we'll need to expose a per-namespace data page.

As a preparatory step, this patch separates the vdso data page from
the code pages, and has it faulted in via its own fault callback.
Subsquent patches will extend this to support distinct pages per time
namespace.

The vvar vma has to be installed with the VM_PFNMAP flag to handle
faults via its vma fault callback.

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 Restructured Text 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.
