The arm_arch_timer requires that VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER to be defined to compile correctly. On arm the vDSO can be disabled and when this is the case the compilation ends prematurely with an error: $ make ARCH=arm multi_v7_defconfig $ ./scripts/config -d VDSO $ make drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c:73:44: error: ‘VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER’ undeclared here (not in a function) static enum vdso_clock_mode vdso_default = VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER; ^ scripts/Makefile.build:267: recipe for target 'drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.o' failed make[2]: *** [drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... scripts/Makefile.build:505: recipe for target 'drivers/clocksource' failed make[1]: *** [drivers/clocksource] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... Makefile:1683: recipe for target 'drivers' failed make: *** [drivers] Error 2 Set vdso_default to VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCH_DEFAULT to address the issue.
