Historically each architecture defined their own datapage to store the
VDSO data. This stands in contrast to the generic nature of the VDSO
code itself.
We plan to introduce a generic framework for the management of the VDSO
data storage that can be used by all architectures and which works
together with the existing generic VDSO code.

Before that is possible align the different architectures by
standardizing on the existing generic infrastructure and moving things
out of the VDSO data page which does not belong there.

Patches	 1- 2:	csky

Patches	 4- 5:	arm64
Patch	    6:	riscv
Patch	    7:	arm
Patch	    8:	LoongArch
Patch	    9:	MIPS
Patches 10-20:	x86
Patches 21-27:	powerpc
Patch      28: 	Renamings to avoid a name clash with the new code.

As this has been sitting for two weeks now without major comments, I'm
planning to merge that through the tip tree tomorrow.

To avoid any future conflicts with powerpc tree, I suggest you merge 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git 
topic/vdso into your tree before applying this series.

I thought the same, but there actually isn't any conflict at the moment
between the two trees.

Some of Thomas W's later changes to convert arches to generic VDSO
storage do conflict, but they look to be destined for the next merge
window.
