The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit
RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the
kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were
already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes
employees.
As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.
While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets
worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best
to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns
out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer
to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

This change converts the existing mmap_sem rwsem calls to use the new mmap
locking API instead.
The change is generated using coccinelle with the following rule:

clock_getres in the vDSO library has to preserve the same behaviour
of posix_get_hrtimer_res().
In particular, posix_get_hrtimer_res() does:
sec = 0;
ns = hrtimer_resolution;
and hrtimer_resolution depends on the enablement of the high
resolution timers that can happen either at compile or at run time.
Fix the nds32 vdso implementation of clock_getres keeping a copy of
hrtimer_resolution in vdso data and using that directly.

Getting a compiler warning, Wstringop-overflow, in
arch/nds32/kernel/vdso.c when kernel is built by gcc-8. Declaring
vdso_start and vdso_end as a pointer to fix this compiler warning.

This patch adds VDSO support. The VDSO code is currently used for
sys_rt_sigreturn() and optimised gettimeofday() (using the SoC timer counter).
