Hook up the generic vDSO implementation to the aarch64 vDSO data page. The _vdso_rng_data required data is placed within the _vdso_data vvar page, by using a offset larger than the vdso_data. The vDSO function requires a ChaCha20 implementation that does not write to the stack, and that can do an entire ChaCha20 permutation. The one provided uses NEON on the permute operation, with a fallback to the syscall for chips that do not support AdvSIMD. This also passes the vdso_test_chacha test along with vdso_test_getrandom. The vdso_test_getrandom bench-single result on Neoverse-N1 shows: vdso: 25000000 times in 0.783884250 seconds libc: 25000000 times in 8.780275399 seconds syscall: 25000000 times in 8.786581518 seconds A small fixup to arch/arm64/include/asm/mman.h was required to avoid pulling kernel code into the vDSO, similar to what's already done in arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
