This is what I did in my proposed patch, but I was surprised that clang-7
generates relocations that clang-8 does not.

LD arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg
VDSOCHK arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg
00000000000009d0 R_AARCH64_JUMP_SLOT _mcount

arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg: dynamic relocations are not supported
make[1]: *** [arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile:59:
arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/vdso.so.dbg] Error 1
make: *** [arch/arm64/Makefile:180: vdso_prepare] Error 2

This is the the result of the macro I introduced in lib/vdso/Makefile.

And I just found out why. I forgot to add a "+" in the patch provided :)

@Qian: Could you please retry with the one provided below?

Subject: [PATCH] arm64: vdso: Fix compilation with clang < 8

clang versions previous to 8 do not support -mcmodel=tiny.

Add a check to the vDSO Makefile for arm64 to remove the flag when these
versions of the compiler are detected.
