s390/vdso: fix stack corruption

2014-10-27T12:27:02+00:00

The kernel provided vdso functions do not get a stack frame from the calling function and therefore may not change the stack contents, unless they allocate space on their own. This problem was exposed with 070b7be633dc "s390/vdso: replace stck with stcke" which writes 16 bytes instead of 8 bytes into the stack frame. These additional 8 bytes however were indeed used by the caller (glibc) to save data and therefore this data was corrupted by the vdso code.

s390/vdso: add vdso support for coarse clocks

2014-09-09T06:53:27+00:00

Add CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE optimization to the 64-bit and 31-bit vdso. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/vdso: replace stck with stcke

2014-09-09T06:53:27+00:00

If gettimeofday / clock_gettime are called multiple times in a row the STCK instruction will stall until a difference in the result is visible. This unnecessarily slows down the vdso calls, use stcke instead of stck to get rid of the stall. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/vdso: remove NULL pointer check from clock_gettime

2014-09-01T07:56:29+00:00

The explicit NULL pointer check on the timespec argument is only required for clock_getres but not for clock_gettime. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/time,vdso: fix clock_gettime for CLOCK_MONOTONIC

2013-12-02T17:15:25+00:00

With git commit 79c74ecbebf76732f91b82a62ce7fc8a88326962 "s390/time,vdso: convert to the new update_vsyscall interface" the new update_vsyscall function already does the sum of xtime and wall_to_monotonic. The old update_vsyscall function only copied the wall_to_monotonic offset. The vdso code needs to be modified to take this into consideration. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/time,vdso: convert to the new update_vsyscall interface

2013-11-25T08:15:39+00:00

Switch to the improved update_vsyscall interface that provides sub-nanosecond precision for gettimeofday and clock_gettime. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] vdso: disable gcov profiling

2011-05-23T08:24:29+00:00

The concepts of VDSO and gcov-based profiling don't mix: the former includes kernel-provided code running in userspace, the latter adds instructions that modify counters in kernel data segments. On s390 this has not been a problem so far due to VDSO code being written in all-assembler which is exempt from gcov-based profiling. This could change in the future, so disable profiling excplicitly for VDSO code. Signed-off-by: Peter Oberparleiter Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] vdso: get rid of redefinition warnings

2010-10-29T14:50:50+00:00

The CLOCK_* defines in asm-offsets.c are only used for the vdso code however in the meantime they cause other trouble. Just rename them to get permanently rid of this: In file included from /home2/heicarst/linux-2.6/arch/s390/include/asm/asm-offsets.h:1:0, from arch/s390/mm/fault.c:33: include/generated/asm-offsets.h:53:0: warning: "CLOCK_REALTIME" redefined include/linux/time.h:286:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition include/generated/asm-offsets.h:54:0: warning: "CLOCK_MONOTONIC" redefined include/linux/time.h:287:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] vdso: use ntp adjusted clock multiplier

2010-04-22T15:17:19+00:00

Commit "timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp" (0696b711e) introduced the new parameter "mult" to update_vsyscall(). This parameter contains the internal NTP adjusted clock multiplier. The s390x vdso did not use this adjusted multiplier. Instead, it used the constant clock multiplier for gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() variants. This may result in observable time warps as explained in commit 0696b711e. Make the NTP adjusted clock multiplier available to the s390x vdso implementation and use it for time calculations.
