This is a backport of the series that recently went into 5.8. Note
that the first patch is more a complete rewriting than a backport, as
the vdso implementation in 5.4 doesn't have much in common with
mainline. This affects the 32bit arch code in a benign way.

It has seen very little testing, as I don't have the HW that triggers
this issue. I have run it in VMs by faking the CPU MIDR, and nothing
caught fire. Famous last words.
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?
Hm, cherry-pick seems to work due to file renames, let me try this
again...
Ok, my fault, these are already all in 5.7.9, sorry for the noise.  I'll
go queue these up now.
