Li Wang reported that clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, ...) returns
incorrect values when time is provided via vdso instead of system call:
vdso_ts_nsec = 4484351380985507, vdso_ts.tv_sec = 4484351, vdso_ts.tv_nsec = 380985507
sys_ts_nsec = 1446923235377, sys_ts.tv_sec = 1446, sys_ts.tv_nsec = 923235377
Within the s390 specific vdso function __arch_get_hw_counter() reads
tod clock steering values from the arch_data member of the passed in
vdso_data structure.
Problem is that only for the CS_HRES_COARSE vdso_data arch_data is
initialized and gets updated. The CS_RAW specific vdso_data does not
contain any valid tod_clock_steering information, which explains the
different values.
Fix this by initializing and updating all vdso_datas.

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 Restructured Text 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.
