[RFC PATCH v4 11/11] powerpc/32: provide vdso_shift_ns()

[Christophe Leroy]

The generic x >> s gives the following result:

  18:	35 25 ff e0 	addic.  r9,r5,-32
  1c:	41 80 00 10 	blt     2c <shift+0x14>
  20:	7c 64 4c 30 	srw     r4,r3,r9
  24:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
...
  2c:	54 69 08 3c 	rlwinm  r9,r3,1,0,30
  30:	21 45 00 1f 	subfic  r10,r5,31
  34:	7c 84 2c 30 	srw     r4,r4,r5
  38:	7d 29 50 30 	slw     r9,r9,r10
  3c:	7c 63 2c 30 	srw     r3,r3,r5
  40:	7d 24 23 78 	or      r4,r9,r4

In our case the shift is always < 32. In addition,  the upper 32 bits
of the result are likely nul. Lets GCC know it, it also optimises the
following calculations.

With the patch, we get:
   0:	21 25 00 20 	subfic  r9,r5,32
   4:	7c 69 48 30 	slw     r9,r3,r9
   8:	7c 84 2c 30 	srw     r4,r4,r5
   c:	7d 24 23 78 	or      r4,r9,r4
  10:	7c 63 2c 30 	srw     r3,r3,r5

Performance before the patch:
clock-gettime-realtime:    vdso: 1033 nsec/call

After the patch:
clock-gettime-realtime:    vdso: 941 nsec/call
