When building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...there are several warnings, and an error. This fixes all of those and
allows these tests to run and pass.

1. Fix linker error (undefined reference to memcpy) by providing a local
   version of memcpy.

2. clang complains about using this form:

    if (g = h & 0xf0000000)

...so factor out the assignment into a separate step.

3. The code is passing a signed const char* to elf_hash(), which expects
   a const unsigned char *. There are several callers, so fix this at
   the source by allowing the function to accept a signed argument, and
   then converting to unsigned operations, once inside the function.

4. clang doesn't have __attribute__((externally_visible)) and generates
   a warning to that effect. Fortunately, gcc 12 and gcc 13 do not seem
   to require that attribute in order to build, run and pass tests here,
   so remove it.

Thanks for the review and testing, Muhammad!

I'm also adding Andy Lutomirski to this thread, in case Shuah would like
the vDSO maintainer to ack or review. (scripts/get_maintainer.pl is letting
me down, I will need to run "git blame" more I guess.

These work for me for compiling with clang.

It might be best to split the 4 _different_ fixes into separate patches.

There has been multiple attempts to fix this. I can see these two:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211206102931.1433871-1-anders.roxell@linaro.org/
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240501002150.1370861-1-edliaw@google.com/

... I guess we somehow missed those?

There is also a v4 fix for this item that was sent out here:

What is this about? Left over from v1 maybe?

I would prefer to pick up the fixes from folks who sent out the patches
first but I'm fine either way.

If necessary, that can be done. It's sufficiently difficult to attract
attention for selftests (see below) that I'm reluctant to make it even
harder to get it all fixed, though.

I guess so. :)

No idea why these fixes are not getting picked up.

I'm perfectly fine with dropping this and letting the other patches go
in, but *something* needs to go in.

Thanks for the review! I have no earthly idea what will happen next.
I'd like to hear at least something from the maintainers about their
intentions here.

In fact, I have two more patches for vDSO (these are separate issues,
for the Makefile), and I just noticed that there are several accumulated
Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags on this patch here. So I think the way
forward is this:

I'll post a v3, with three patches for vDSO selftests, and the latest
tags. And let's see how that fares.

Yeap, a resend would have been good. This time it might be best to bring
Andy and Thomas in the loop too.
