Now that hopefully all inline assemblies have been converted to single
basic blocks we can enable kcov on s390.
Note that this patch does not disable as many files on s390 like the
x86 variant does. Right now I didn't see a reason to do that, however
additional files or directories can be excluded at any time.
The runtime overhead seems to be quite high.

Add the CPU number to the per-cpu vdso data page and add the
__kernel_getcpu function to the vdso object to retrieve the
CPU number in user space.

As proposed by Andy Lutomirski create the SysV and the GNU hash
for the vdso objects. This may make some dynamic loaders a bit
faster.

The kernel provided vdso functions do not get a stack frame from the
calling function and therefore may not change the stack contents, unless
they allocate space on their own.
This problem was exposed with 070b7be633dc "s390/vdso: replace stck with
stcke" which writes 16 bytes instead of 8 bytes into the stack frame. These
additional 8 bytes however were indeed used by the caller (glibc) to save
data and therefore this data was corrupted by the vdso code.

If gettimeofday / clock_gettime are called multiple times in a row
the STCK instruction will stall until a difference in the result is
visible. This unnecessarily slows down the vdso calls, use stcke
instead of stck to get rid of the stall.

With git commit 79c74ecbebf76732f91b82a62ce7fc8a88326962
"s390/time,vdso: convert to the new update_vsyscall interface"
the new update_vsyscall function already does the sum of xtime
and wall_to_monotonic. The old update_vsyscall function only
copied the wall_to_monotonic offset. The vdso code needs to be
modified to take this into consideration.

Switch to the improved update_vsyscall interface that provides

The concepts of VDSO and gcov-based profiling don't mix: the former
includes kernel-provided code running in userspace, the latter adds
instructions that modify counters in kernel data segments. On s390
this has not been a problem so far due to VDSO code being written in
all-assembler which is exempt from gcov-based profiling. This could
change in the future, so disable profiling excplicitly for VDSO code.

The CLOCK_* defines in asm-offsets.c are only used for the vdso code
however in the meantime they cause other trouble.
Just rename them to get permanently rid of this:

Commit "timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp" (0696b711e)
introduced the new parameter "mult" to update_vsyscall(). This parameter
contains the internal NTP adjusted clock multiplier.
The s390x vdso did not use this adjusted multiplier. Instead, it used
the constant clock multiplier for gettimeofday() and clock_gettime()
variants. This may result in observable time warps as explained in
commit 0696b711e.
Make the NTP adjusted clock multiplier available to the s390x vdso
implementation and use it for time calculations.

ld-option is misnamed as it test options to gcc, not to ld.
