<content type='text'>
Historically each architecture defined their own way to store the vDSO
data page. Add a generic mechanism to provide storage for that page.

Furthermore this generic storage will be extended to also provide
uniform storage for *non*-time-related data, like the random state or
architecture-specific data. These will have their own pages and data
structures, so rename 'vdso_data' into 'vdso_time_data' to make that
split clear from the name.

Also introduce a new consistent naming scheme for the symbols related to
the vDSO, which makes it clear if the symbol is accessible from
userspace or kernel space and the type of data behind the symbol.

The generic fault handler contains an optimization to prefault the vvar
page when the timens page is accessed. This was lifted from s390 and x86.

<title>vdso/timens: Always provide arch_get_vdso_data() prototype for vdso</title>

The arch_get_vdso_data() function is defined separately on each architecture,
but only called when CONFIG_TIME_NS is set. If the definition is a global
function, this causes a W=1 warning without TIME_NS:

arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.c:35:19: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_get_vdso_data' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Move the prototype out of the #ifdef block to reliably turn off that
warning.

<title>vdso/timens: Refactor copy-pasted find_timens_vvar_page() helper into one copy</title>

find_timens_vvar_page() is not architecture-specific, as can be seen from
how all five per-architecture versions of it are the same.

(arm64, powerpc and riscv are exactly the same; x86 and s390 have two
characters difference inside a comment, less blank lines, and mark the
!CONFIG_TIME_NS version as inline.)

Refactor the five copies into a central copy in kernel/time/namespace.c.

Pull misc fixes from Christian Brauner:
 "This contains several fixes which felt worth being combined into a
  single branch:

   - Use put_nsproxy() instead of open-coding it switch_task_namespaces()

   - Kirill's work to unify lifecycle management for all namespaces. The
     lifetime counters are used identically for all namespaces types.
     Namespaces may of course have additional unrelated counters and
     these are not altered. This work allows us to unify the type of the
     counters and reduces maintenance cost by moving the counter in one
     place and indicating that basic lifetime management is identical
     for all namespaces.

   - Peilin's fix adding three byte padding to Dmitry's
     PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO uapi struct to prevent an info leak.

   - Two smal patches to convert from the /* fall through */ comment
     annotation to the fallthrough keyword annotation which I had taken
     into my branch and into -next before df561f6688fe ("treewide: Use
     fallthrough pseudo-keyword") made it upstream which fixed this
     tree-wide.

     Since I didn't want to invalidate all testing for other commits I
     didn't rebase and kept them"
