Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The timekeeping and timers departement provides:
- Time namespace support:
If a container migrates from one host to another then it expects
that clocks based on MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME are not subject to
disruption. Due to different boot time and non-suspended runtime
these clocks can differ significantly on two hosts, in the worst
case time goes backwards which is a violation of the POSIX
requirements.
The time namespace addresses this problem. It allows to set offsets
for clock MONOTONIC and BOOTTIME once after creation and before
tasks are associated with the namespace. These offsets are taken
into account by timers and timekeeping including the VDSO.
Offsets for wall clock based clocks (REALTIME/TAI) are not provided
by this mechanism. While in theory possible, the overhead and code
complexity would be immense and not justified by the esoteric
potential use cases which were discussed at Plumbers '18.
The overhead for tasks in the root namespace (ie where host time
offsets = 0) is in the noise and great effort was made to ensure
that especially in the VDSO. If time namespace is disabled in the
kernel configuration the code is compiled out.
Kudos to Andrei Vagin and Dmitry Sofanov who implemented this
feature and kept on for more than a year addressing review
comments, finding better solutions. A pleasant experience.
- Overhaul of the alarmtimer device dependency handling to ensure
that the init/suspend/resume ordering is correct.
- A new clocksource/event driver for Microchip PIT64
- Suspend/resume support for the Hyper-V clocksource
- The usual pile of fixes, updates and improvements mostly in the
driver code"

The function name suggests that this is a boolean checking whether the
architecture asks for an update of the VDSO data, but it works the other
way round. To spare further confusion invert the logic.

Setting BUILD_VDSO32 is required to expose the legacy 32bit interfaces in
the generic VDSO code which are going to be hidden behind an #ifdef
BUILD_VDSO32.
The 32bit fallbacks are necessary to remove the existing
VDSO_HAS_32BIT_FALLBACK hackery.

__arch_get_hw_counter() should check clock_mode to see if it can access
CNTVCT. With the conversion to unified vDSO this check has been left out.
This causes on imx v6 and v7 (imx_v6_v7_defconfig) and other platforms to
hang at boot during the execution of the init process as per below:
[ 19.976852] Run /sbin/init as init process
[ 20.044931] Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
exitcode=0x00000004
Fix the problem verifying that clock_mode is set coherently before
accessing CNTVCT.

The generic vDSO library provides an implementation of clock_getres() that
can be leveraged by each architecture.
Add clock_getres() entry point on arm to be on pair with arm64.

The arm vDSO library requires some adaptations to take advantage of
the newly introduced generic vDSO library.
Introduce the following changes:
- Modification vdso.c to be compliant with the common vdso datapage
- Use of lib/vdso for gettimeofday
- Implementation of elf note
