Extend the generic vDSO data storage with a page for the random state data. The random state data is stored in a dedicated page, as the existing storage page is only meant for time-related, time-namespace-aware data. This simplifies to access logic to not need to handle time namespaces anymore and also frees up more space in the time-related page. In case further generic vDSO data store is required it can be added to the random state page.

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.
