Tiezhu Yang aa5e65dc08 LoongArch: Add support to clone a time namespace
We can see that "Time namespaces are not supported" on LoongArch:

(1) clone3 test
  # cd tools/testing/selftests/clone3 && make && ./clone3
  ...
  # Time namespaces are not supported
  ok 18 # SKIP Skipping clone3() with CLONE_NEWTIME
  # Totals: pass:17 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:1 error:0

(2) timens test
  # cd tools/testing/selftests/timens && make && ./timens
  ...
  1..0 # SKIP Time namespaces are not supported

On LoongArch the current kernel does not support CONFIG_TIME_NS which
depends on GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS, select GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS to enable
CONFIG_TIME_NS to build kernel/time/namespace.c.

Additionally, it needs to define some arch-dependent functions for the
timens, such as __arch_get_timens_vdso_data(), arch_get_vdso_data() and
vdso_join_timens().

At the same time, modify the layout of vvar to use one page size for
generic vdso data, expand another page size for timens vdso data and
assign LOONGARCH_VDSO_DATA_SIZE (maybe exceeds a page size if expand in
the future) for loongarch vdso data, at last add the callback function
vvar_fault() and modify stack_top().

With this patch under CONFIG_TIME_NS:

(1) clone3 test
  # cd tools/testing/selftests/clone3 && make && ./clone3
  ...
  ok 18 [739] Result (0) matches expectation (0)
  # Totals: pass:18 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

(2) timens test
  # cd tools/testing/selftests/timens && make && ./timens
  ...
  # Totals: pass:10 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

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.
