vdso: Drop Kconfig GENERIC_VDSO_DATA_STORE

2025-09-04T09:23:50+00:00

All users of the generic vDSO library also use the generic vDSO datastore. Remove the now unnecessary Kconfig symbol. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Catalin Marinas Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250826-vdso-cleanups-v1-9-d9b65750e49f@linutronix.de

vdso: Move ENABLE_COMPAT_VDSO from core to arm64

2025-09-04T09:23:49+00:00

The ENABLE_COMAPT_VDSO symbol is only used by arm64 and only for the time-related functionality. There should be no new users, so it doesn't need to be in the generic vDSO code. Move the logic into arm64 architecture-specific code and replace the explicit define by the standard '#ifdef __aarch64__'.

vdso/gettimeofday: Add support for auxiliary clocks

2025-07-18T12:09:39+00:00

Expose the auxiliary clocks through the vDSO. Architectures not using the generic vDSO time framework, namely SPARC64, are not supported. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250701-vdso-auxclock-v1-12-df7d9f87b9b8@linutronix.de

vdso/vsyscall: Update auxiliary clock data in the datapage

2025-07-18T11:45:33+00:00

Expose the auxiliary clock data so it can be read from the vDSO. Architectures not using the generic vDSO time framework, namely SPARC64, are not supported.

vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock

2025-03-08T13:37:41+00:00

To support multiple PTP clocks, the VDSO data structure needs to be reworked. All clock specific data will end up in struct vdso_clock and in struct vdso_time_data there will be an array of VDSO clocks. Now that all preparatory changes are in place: Split the clock related struct members into a separate struct vdso_clock. Make sure all users are aware, that vdso_time_data is no longer initialized as an array and vdso_clock is now the array inside vdso_data. Remove the vdso_clock define, which mapped it to vdso_time_data for the transition.

vdso: Move architecture related data before basetime data

2025-03-08T13:37:41+00:00

Architecture related vdso data is required in the fast path when reading CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME. At the moment, this information is located at the end of the vdso_time_data structure, which is a suboptimal cache layout. Move the architecture specific VDSO data right before the basetime information, which is always required. This change does not have an impact on architectures with CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_VDSO_DATA=n. Architectures, which have it enabled, gain a better cache layout.

vdso/datapage: Define vdso_clock to prepare for multiple PTP clocks

2025-03-08T13:37:40+00:00

Multiple PTP clocks, which are independent of timekeeping, are required for systems, which utilize PTP for synchronizing e.g. automation systems independent of clock TAI. PTP clocks are slow to access, but applications require fast access to the relevant time similar to the regular timekeeping relevant clocks. To prepare for that the VDSO data representation must be reworked. For transition to the new structure of the vdso, add a define which maps vdso_clock to vdso_data. This will be removed when all users are updated step by step. No functional change.

vdso: Make vdso_time_data cacheline aligned

2025-03-08T13:37:39+00:00

vdso_time_data is not cacheline aligned at the moment. When instantiating an array, the start of the second array member is not cache line aligned. This increases the number of the required cache lines which needs to be read when handling e.g. CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, because the data spawns an extra cache line if the previous data does not end at a cache line boundary. Therefore make struct vdso_time_data cacheline aligned.

vdso: Remove remnants of architecture-specific time storage

2025-02-21T08:54:03+00:00
