FROMLIST: [PATCH v5 12/12] lib: vdso: do not expose gettimeofday, if no arch supported timer
(cherry pick from url https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10044539/ ) Take an effort to recode the arm64 vdso code from assembler to C previously submitted by Andrew Pinski <apinski@cavium.com>, rework it for use in both arm and arm64, overlapping any optimizations for each architecture. But instead of landing it in arm64, land the result into lib/vdso and unify both implementations to simplify future maintenance. If ARCH_PROVIDES_TIMER is not defined, do not expose gettimeofday. libc will default directly to syscall. Also ifdef clock_gettime switch cases and stubs if not supported and other unused components.
