Merge tag 'timers-vdso-2024-11-18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull vdso data page handling updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"First steps of consolidating the VDSO data page handling.
The VDSO data page handling is architecture specific for historical
reasons, but there is no real technical reason to do so.
Aside of that VDSO data has become a dump ground for various
mechanisms and fail to provide a clear separation of the
functionalities.
Clean this up by:
- consolidating the VDSO page data by getting rid of architecture
specific warts especially in x86 and PowerPC.
- removing the last includes of header files which are pulling in
other headers outside of the VDSO namespace.
- seperating timekeeping and other VDSO data accordingly.
Further consolidation of the VDSO page handling is done in subsequent
changes scheduled for the next merge window.
This also lays the ground for expanding the VDSO time getters for
independent PTP clocks in a generic way without making every
architecture add support seperately"
