This series wires up getrandom() vDSO implementation on powerpc.

Tested on PPC32.

Performance on powerpc 885 (using kernel selftest):
	~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
	   vdso: 2500000 times in 7.897495392 seconds
	   libc: 2500000 times in 56.091632232 seconds
	syscall: 2500000 times in 55.704851989 seconds

Performance on powerpc 8321 (using kernel selftest):
	~# ./vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
	   vdso: 2500000 times in 2.017183250 seconds
	   libc: 2500000 times in 13.088533630 seconds
	syscall: 2500000 times in 12.952458068 seconds

Only build tested on PPC64.

It doesn't build with CONFIG_COMPAT. This is because unlike
gettimeofday.c, getrandom.c includes a lot of headers from outside
of include/vdso/ . The same work as done by
commit 8c59ab839f52 ("lib/vdso: Enable common headers") needs to
be done on lib/vdso/getrandom.c

Among the few strange things to be clarified, there is the format
on the key passed to __arch_chacha20_blocks_nostack(). In
struct vgetrandom_state it is declared as a table of u32, but in
reality it seems it is a flat storage that needs to be loaded in
reversed byte order, so it should either be defined as a table of
bytes, or as a table of __le32 but not a table of u32.

Christophe Leroy (9):
  powerpc/vdso: Don't discard rela sections
  powerpc/vdso32: Add crtsavres
  vdso: Add __arch_get_k_vdso_rng_data()
  vdso: Add missing c-getrandom-y in Makefile
  vdso: Avoid call to memset() by getrandom
  vdso: Only use MAP_DROPPABLE when VM_DROPPABLE exists
  powerpc: Add little endian variants of LHZX_BE and friends
  powerpc/vdso: Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation
  selftests: [NOT TO BE MERGED] Modifications for testing VDSO getrandom
    implementation on PPC32
