Pull timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A set of timekeeping/VDSO updates:

   - Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO
     implementation.

     S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the
     counter read function when time namespace support is enabled.
     Adding the pointer is a NOOP for all other architectures because
     the compiler is supposed to optimize that out when it is unused in
     the architecture specific inline. The change also solved a similar
     problem for MIPS which fortunately has time namespaces not yet
     enabled.

     S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the
     timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another
     sequence counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is
     to utilize the already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The
     core code now exposes helper functions which allow to serialize
     against the timekeeper code and against concurrent readers.

     S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial
     common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It
     now has an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which
     defaults to an empty struct.

     Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and
     allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support
     to work from a common upstream base.

   - A trivial comment fix"
