[PATCH 4/6] vDSO: Automatically select HAVE_GENERIC_VDSO if necessary

From: Thomas Weißschuh

Date: Thu Jul 09 2026 - 03:29:22 EST


gettimeofday() and getrandom() in the vDSO require the vDSO datastore.

Enable it automatically if either one of them is enabled so the
architecture code doesn't need to know this.
