Sorry, should have cc'd Masahiro, slipped my mind.

Note, I kept this separate as the patches have to go back different
distances; only 5.7 has working clang support for vdso32, see
commit a5d442f50a41 ("arm64: vdso32: Enable Clang Compilation") in
Linus' tree, which appeared in 5.7-rc1 so this only needs to go into
linux-5.7.y. The main patch needs to back all the way to 4.4 so we would
need to drop this hunk when backporting, which would be annoying, as the
main patch backports cleanly to 4.9.

It could be routed via the kbuild tree but the arm64 maintainers are
pretty good at getting these fixes into the hands of Linus so I see no
reason to go around them.

Cheers,
Nathan
