This enables generation of SFrame V3 stack trace information for VDSO on
x86-64.  It's a continuation of Josh's and Steve's work:

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/cover.1737511963.git.jpoimboe...
   https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250422183439.895236512@good...

This series focuses only on the VDSO code. They are helpful fixes
and updates that doesn't rely on sframes (although the last patch
is sframe related).

This series applies on top of tip:x86/entry:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git  x86/entry

Like the unwind user sframe series [1] it depends on the upcoming
binutils 2.46 release to be used to build the VDSO with SFrame V3
stack trace information (using the assembler option --gsframe-3).

[1]: [PATCH v13 00/18] unwind_deferred: Implement sframe handling,
    https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260127150554.2760964-1-jrem...


Changes in v7 (see individual patch notes):
- Rebase on H. Peter Anvin's vDSO changes on tip:x86/entry. (Peter)
- Simplify adding assembler option -Wa,--gsframe-3.  Add for vdso64
  only.
- Align to .eh_frame and mark .sframe as KEEP in vDSO linker script.
  Note that GNU linker 2.46 will mark .sframe as KEEP in its default
  linker script as well.

Changes in v6:
- SFrame V3 support (SFrame V2 is not supported).
- Prevent GNU_SFRAME program table entry to empty .sframe section.
- Integrate v5 review feedback. (Josh)

Regards,
Jens
