CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE timer support.

Current vDSO64 implementation does not have support for coarse clocks
(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE), for which it falls back
to system call, increasing the response time, vDSO implementation reduces
the cycle time. Below is a benchmark of the difference in execution time
with and without vDSO support.

(Non-coarse clocks are also included just for completion)

Without vDSO support:
--------------------
clock-gettime-realtime: syscall: 172 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    libc: 26 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    vdso: 21 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: syscall: 170 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    libc: 30 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    vdso: 24 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: syscall: 153 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    libc: 15 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 9 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: syscall: 167 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    libc: 15 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 11 nsec/call

'beq', followed by a 'b' looks weird without considering the next patch.  
I think this can be organized better to not have to update r7/r11/r12 if 
using the system call. See next patch for my comments.

>    .cfi_register lr,r12

If you move the mflr, you should move the above line along with it.

If you use cr5-7 here, you should be able to re-organize this to not 
have to update r4/r11/r12 if we're taking the syscall path. Not 
necessarily a huge win by itself, but can also help reuse some of the 
other code between the _COARSE and the regular variants.

s/should/must/.

It literally says "lr is saved in r12".

Don't you need a dependency on r4/r5 here for REALTIME_COARSE?
Something like:

	/* check if counter has updated */
	or	r0,r6,r9
78:	or	r0,r4,r5
	xor	r0,r0,r0

I think the below hunk can surely be shared across the _COARSE and 
regular clocks, if not more.

Yes, we would need it. Will update in v2.

Yes, except for the label its the same for both monotonic and
monotonic_coarse, will update in the next set.

If we are going to use cr5-7, then the first patch is no longer required, we
don't have to do a re-org of the intial clock_id checks. I will send the
updated patch.

Current vDSO64 implementation does not have support for coarse clocks
(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE), for which it falls back
to system call, increasing the response time, vDSO implementation reduces
the cycle time. Below is a benchmark of the difference in execution times.

(Non-coarse clocks are also included just for completion)

clock-gettime-realtime: syscall: 172 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    libc: 28 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    vdso: 22 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: syscall: 171 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    libc: 30 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    vdso: 25 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: syscall: 153 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    libc: 16 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 10 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: syscall: 167 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    libc: 17 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 11 nsec/call

The label '75:' should be on the second instruction since we don't need 
to worry about r6/r9 for REALTIME_COARSE.

Also, the above hunk should actually be:

	or      r0,r6,r9
	or	r0,r0,r4
	or	r0,r0,r5
	xor     r0,r0,r0

Otherwise, the first 'or' will be skipped. I realized this after I 
replied to your previous version, but missed letting you know...

I also notice that the code for dealing with CLOCK_MONOTONIC is similar 
for _COARSE and regular clocks. If possible, we should reuse that as 
well.

In this case we will be adding more checks and branches in order to reuse
the code. If we want to keep the code common we will have to do a lot of
jumping around, code will contain a bunch of branches, which I feel will make
the code/flow hard to understand. (Q: Does lot of branches have bad effect on
branch prediction?)

Will wait for your thoughts, before respinning.

Right - like we discussed offline, if it hurts readability, that's a 
good enough reason not to do this. We are only talking about a few 
instructions here anyway, so no need to worry too much.

Current vDSO64 implementation does not have support for coarse clocks
(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE), for which it falls back
to system call, increasing the response time, vDSO implementation reduces
the cycle time. Below is a benchmark of the difference in execution times.

(Non-coarse clocks are also included just for completion)

clock-gettime-realtime: syscall: 172 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    libc: 28 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    vdso: 22 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: syscall: 171 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    libc: 30 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    vdso: 25 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: syscall: 153 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    libc: 16 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 10 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: syscall: 167 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    libc: 17 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 11 nsec/call

Hi Santosh,
This seems to have gone from v4 to v6 -- did I miss v5?

... and no changes since the last rev?

It is better to post new versions in a separate thread and to include 
the changelog for easier review.

Nope, this is indeed v5, a typo :-(

There is that one line change of label. But otherwise its the same.

Sure.
