[PATCH v4 12/12] lib: vdso: do not expose gettimeofday, if no arch supported timer

From: Mark Salyzyn
Date: Tue Oct 31 2017 - 14:33:54 EST


Take an effort to recode the arm64 vdso code from assembler to C
previously submitted by Andrew Pinski <apinski@xxxxxxxxxx>, 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.

v3:
- do not expose gettimeofday if arch does not support user space timer.

v4:
- update commit message to reflect overall reasoning of patch series.
