Hi Vinvenzo,
I'm looking through some of the remaining y2038 work, and noticed that arch/arm64 has the new generic vdso implementation, but arch/arm does.
Do you patches for using the same code on arch/arm?

This is correct, arch/arm does not have support for the generic vDSO library.

The patches were send for review together with the arm64 ones and the rest of the architectures supported but they did not get merged yet and I do not know why.

I think you've forgotten, you didn't read the email from the patch system, or the "Regression in 5.3-rc1 and later" email thread on the mailing lists.

Basically, I couldn't merge for the last merge window without causing a regression, so it's delayed until the next merge window.
Thanks.

Okay, having discussed with Arnd what the current situation is, he points out that he needs an additional patch to solve some further build issues with the generic VDSO patches - caused by the Kconfig changes in your first patch.
I'd rather that gets fixed up before I apply the patches, rather than applying a set of patches and a fix on top.
Please re-spin with Arnd's Kconfig changes included.
Thanks.

For reference, this is the change I needed to get randconfig builds working in configurations that did not enable CONFIG_VDSO:

No problem, I will re-spin the patches.
