Commit 97884ca8c2925d14c32188e865069f21378b4b4f upstream.
[this is a redesign rather than a backport]
We have a class of errata (grouped under the ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040
banner) that force the trapping of counter access from 32bit EL0.
We would normally disable the whole vdso for such defect, except that
it would disable it for 64bit userspace as well, which is a shame.
Instead, add a new vdso_clock_mode, which signals that the vdso
isn't usable for compat tasks. This gets checked in the
__arch_get_hw_counter() helper.

Commit c1fbec4ac0d701f350a581941d35643d5a9cd184 upstream.
As we are about to disable the vdso for compat tasks in some circumstances,
let's allow a workaround descriptor to express exactly that.

Commit 4b661d6133c5d3a7c9aca0b4ee5a78c7766eff3f upstream.
ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040 requires that AArch32 EL0 accesses to
the virtual counter register are trapped and emulated by the kernel.
This makes the vdso pretty pointless, and in some cases livelock
prone.
Provide a workaround entry that limits the vdso to 64bit tasks.

These are also needed in 5.7.y, right? If so, I need that series before
I can take this one as we don't want people moving to a newer kernel and
suffer regressions :(

The original mainline changes:
4b661d6133c5 arm64: arch_timer: Disable the compat vdso for cores
affected by ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040
c1fbec4ac0d7 arm64: arch_timer: Allow an workaround descriptor to
disable compat vdso
97884ca8c292 arm64: Introduce a way to disable the 32bit vdso
do apply cleanly to stable-5.7. Do you want me to resend them
separately,
or will you pick the patches directly from mainline?
Thanks,
M.

Hm, cherry-pick seems to work due to file renames, let me try this
again...
