Provide the s390 specific vdso getrandom() architecture backend.
_vdso_rng_data required data is placed within the _vdso_data vvar page,
by using a hardcoded offset larger than vdso_data.
As required the chacha20 implementation does not write to the stack.
The implementation follows more or less the arm64 implementations and
makes use of vector instructions. It has a fallback to the getrandom()
system call for machines where the vector facility is not installed.
The check if the vector facility is installed, as well as an
optimization for machines with the vector-enhancements facility 2, is
implemented with alternatives, avoiding runtime checks.
Note that __kernel_getrandom() is implemented without the vdso user
wrapper which would setup a stack frame for odd cases (aka very old
glibc variants) where the caller has not done that. All callers of
__kernel_getrandom() are required to setup a stack frame, like the C ABI
requires it.
The vdso testcases vdso_test_getrandom and vdso_test_chacha pass.
Benchmark on a z16:
$ ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
vdso: 25000000 times in 0.493703559 seconds
syscall: 25000000 times in 6.584025337 seconds

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.
