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 new vdso_clocksource_ok() helper, now provided for the 32bit vdso.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
