The "old" time types use 32-bit seconds which are not y2038-safe.
Respect COMPAT_32BIT_TIME for functions using those types.
time(), stime() and gettimeofday() are disabled completely.
settimeofday() is kept as it is required to do the initial timewarping
after boot. However the 'tv' argument will be rejected.

Not all architectures have the system calls for time() and
gettimeofday(). When the system call is missing, the vDSO function
should also not be present.
Validate that.

If CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is disabled then the vDSO should not
provide any 32-bit time related functionality. This is the intended
effect of the kconfig option and also the fallback system calls would
also not be implemented.

If CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is disabled then the vDSO should not
provide any 32-bit time related functionality. This is the intended
effect of the kconfig option and also the fallback system calls would
also not be implemented.

If CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is disabled then the vDSO should not
provide any 32-bit time related functionality.
Add some build-time validations to make sure the architecture-specific
glue satisfies this requirement.
