The original mainline changes:

4b661d6133c5 arm64: arch_timer: Disable the compat vdso for cores
affected by ARM64_WORKAROUND_1418040
c1fbec4ac0d7 arm64: arch_timer: Allow an workaround descriptor to
disable compat vdso
97884ca8c292 arm64: Introduce a way to disable the 32bit vdso

do apply cleanly to stable-5.7. Do you want me to resend them
separately,
or will you pick the patches directly from mainline?

Thanks,

M.
