Prior to the introduction of Unified vDSO support and compat layer for
vDSO on arm64, AT_SYSINFO_EHDR was not defined for compat tasks.
In the current implementation, AT_SYSINFO_EHDR is defined even if the
compat vdso layer is not built and this causes a regression in the
expected behavior of the ABI.

Restore the ABI behavior making sure that AT_SYSINFO_EHDR for compat
tasks is defined only when CONFIG_GENERIC_COMPAT_VDSO and
CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO are enabled.

I think you could do a better job in the changelog of explaining what's
actually going on here. The problem seems to be that you're advertising
the presence of a non-existent vDSO to userspace.

Can't this just be #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO ?

John -- can you give this a whirl, please?

Cheers,

Yes, I realized it after I pushed the patch that CONFIG_GENERIC_COMPAT_VDSO can
be removed. Posting v2 shortly.
