    remove arm (32-bit) support for vdso clock_gettime · 4486c579
    Rich Felker 提交于
    it's been reported that the vdso clock_gettime64 function on (32-bit)
    arm is broken, producing erratic results that grow at a rate far
    greater than one reported second per actual elapsed second. the vdso
    function seems to have been added sometime between linux 5.4 and 5.6,
    so if there's ever been a working version, it was only present for a
    very short window.
    
    it's not clear what the eventual upstream kernel solution will be, but
    something needs to be done on the libc side so as not to be producing
    binaries that seem to work on older/existing/lts kernels (which lack
    the function and thus lack the bug) but will break fantastically when
    moving to newer kernels.
    
    hopefully vdso support will be added back soon, but with a new symbol
    name or version from the kernel to allow continued rejection of broken
    ones.
