Subject: arm64: vdso: Add -fasynchronous-unwind-tables to cflags
From: Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@xxxxxxx>
commit 1578e5d03112e3e9d37e1c4d95b6dfb734c73955 upstream.
On arm64 linux gcc uses -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -funwind-tables
by default since gcc-8, so now the de facto platform ABI is to allow
unwinding from async signal handlers.
However on bare metal targets (aarch64-none-elf), and on old gcc,
async and sync unwind tables are not enabled by default to avoid
runtime memory costs.
This means if linux is built with a baremetal toolchain the vdso.so
may not have unwind tables which breaks the gcc platform ABI guarantee
in userspace.
Add -fasynchronous-unwind-tables explicitly to the vgettimeofday.o
cflags to address the ABI change.
