Consolidate generic gettimeofday implementation to use clock_gettime.
Linux ports that still provide gettimeofday through vDSO are not
changed.
Remove sysdeps/unix/clock_gettime.c, which implemented clock_gettime
using gettimeofday; new OS ports must provide a real implementation of
clock_gettime.
Rename sysdeps/mach/gettimeofday.c to sysdeps/mach/clock_gettime.c and
convert into an implementation of clock_gettime. It only supports
CLOCK_REALTIME; Mach does not appear to have any support for monotonic
clocks. It uses __host_get_time, which provides at best microsecond
resolution. Hurd is currently using sysdeps/posix/clock_getres.c for
clock_getres; its output for CLOCK_REALTIME is based on
sysconf (_SC_CLK_TCK), and I do not know whether that gives the
correct result.
Unlike settimeofday, there are no known uses of gettimeofday's
vestigial "get time zone" feature that are not bugs. (The per-process
timezone support in localtime and friends is unrelated, and the
programs that set the kernel's offset between the hardware clock and
UTC do not need to read it back.) Therefore, this feature is dummied
out. Henceforth, if gettimeofday's "struct timezone" argument is not
NULL, it will write zeroes to both fields. Any program that is
actually looking at this data will thus think it is running in UTC,
which is probably more correct than whatever it was doing before.
[__]gettimeofday no longer has any internal callers, so we can now
remove its internal prototype and PLT bypass aliases. The
__gettimeofday@GLIBC_2.0 export remains, in case it is used by any
third-party code.
It also allows to simplify the arch-specific implementation on x86 and
powerpc to remove the hack to disable the internal route to non iFUNC
variant for internal symbol.
This patch also fixes a missing optimization on aarch64, powerpc, and
x86 where the code used on static build do not use the vDSO.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, powerpc64le-linux-gnu,
powerpc64-linux-gnu, powerpc-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

Also, change sources.redhat.com to sourceware.org.
This patch was automatically generated by running the following shell
script, which uses GNU sed, and which avoids modifying files imported
from upstream:

This patch uses the libc_ifunc_hidden macro to create already existing ifunc functions
time and gettimeofday on intel. This way, the libc_hidden_def macro can be used
instead of the libc_ifunc_hidden_def one which was only used here. Thus the
macro is removed from libc-symbols.h.
On i386, the __GI_* symbols do not target the ifunc symbol and thus the
redirection construct has to be applied here.
ChangeLog:
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday):
Use libc_ifunc_hidden macro. Use libc_hidden_def instead of
libc_ifunc_hidden_def.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/time.c (time): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday):
Redirect ifunced function in header for using it as type of ifunc'ed
function. Redefine libc_hidden_def to use fallback non ifunc'ed
function for __GI_* symbol.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/time.c (time): Likewise.
* include/libc-symbols.h
(libc_ifunc_hidden_def, libc_ifunc_hidden_def1): Delete macro.

This patch removes the vsyscall usage for x86_64 port. As indicated
by kernel code comments [1], vsyscalls are a legacy ABI and its concept
is problematic:
- It interferes with ASLR.
- It's awkward to write code that lives in kernel addresses but is
callable by userspace at fixed addresses.
- The whole concept is impossible for 32-bit compat userspace.
- UML cannot easily virtualize a vsyscall.
The VDSO is a better approach for such functionality. Tested on i686,
x86_64, and x32.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/gettimeofday.c
(__gettimeofday_syscall): Remove vsyscall fallback.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/time.c (__time_syscall): Likewise.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/gettimeofday.c (__gettimeofday_syscall):
Add syscall fallback function.
(gettimeofday_ifunc): Use __gettimeofday_syscall as fallback mechanism
if vDSO is not present.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86/time.c (__time_syscall): Add syscall
fallback function.
(time_ifunc): Use __time_syscall as fallback mechanism if vDSO is not
present.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/gettimeofday.c: Remove file.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/time.c: Likewise.

Linux 3.15 adds support for clock_gettime, gettimeofday, and time vDSO
(commit id 37c975545ec63320789962bf307f000f08fabd48). This patch adds
GLIBC supports to use such symbol when they are avaiable.
Along with x86 vDSO support, this patch cleanup x86_64 code by moving
all common code to x86 common folder. Only init-first.c is different
between implementations.
