FROMLIST: [PATCH 4/6] arm64: compat: Add a 32-bit vDSO
(cherry pick from url https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10060445/ ) Provide the files necessary for building a compat (AArch32) vDSO in kernel/vdso32. This is mostly an adaptation of the arm vDSO. The most significant change in vgettimeofday.c is the use of the arm64 vdso_data struct, allowing the vDSO data page to be shared between the 32 and 64-bit vDSOs. Additionally, a different set of barrier macros is used (see aarch32-barrier.h), as we want to support old 32-bit compilers that may not support ARMv8 and its new barrier arguments (*ld). In addition to the time functions, sigreturn trampolines are also provided, aiming at replacing those in the sigreturn page as the latter don't provide any unwinding information (and it's easier to have just one "user code" page). arm-specific unwinding directives are used, based on glibc's implementation. Symbol offsets are made available to the kernel using the same method as the 64-bit vDSO. There is unfortunately an important caveat: we cannot get away with hand-coding 32-bit instructions like in kernel/kuser32.S, this time we really need a 32-bit compiler. The compat vDSO Makefile relies on CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32 to provide a 32-bit compiler, appropriate logic will be added to the arm64 Makefile later on to ensure that an attempt to build the compat vDSO is made only if this variable has been set properly.
