[PATCH v2 9/9] vdso/gettimeofday: Verify COMPAT_32BIT_TIME interactions

From: Thomas Weißschuh <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-30 07:38:43
Also in: linux-api, linux-arm-kernel, linux-mips, lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: generic vdso library, library code, the rest · Maintainers: Andy Lutomirski, Thomas Gleixner, Vincenzo Frascino, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

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.
