2025-07-09vdso/helpers: Add helpers for seqlocks of single vdso_clockThomas Weißschuh1-12/+38
Auxiliary clocks will have their vDSO data in a dedicated 'struct vdso_clock', which needs to be synchronized independently. Add a helper to synchronize a single vDSO clock.

2025-03-08vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clockAnna-Maria Behnsen1-2/+2
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.

2025-03-08vdso/helpers: Prepare introduction of struct vdso_clockAnna-Maria Behnsen1-8/+12
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. For now, vdso_clock is simply a define which maps vdso_clock to vdso_time_data. Prepare all functions which need the pointer to the vdso_clock array to work well after the structures get reworked. Replace the struct vdso_time_data pointer with a struct vdso_clock pointer where applicable. No functional change.

2025-02-21vdso: Remove remnants of architecture-specific time storageThomas Weißschuh1-4/+4
All users of the time releated parts of the vDSO are now using the generic storage implementation. Remove the therefore unnecessary compatibility accessor functions and symbols.

2024-09-13random: vDSO: minimize and simplify header includesChristophe Leroy1-0/+1
Depending on the architecture, building a 32-bit vDSO on a 64-bit kernel is problematic when some system headers are included. Minimise the amount of headers by moving needed items, such as __{get,put}_unaligned_t, into dedicated common headers and in general use more specific headers, similar to what was done in commit 8165b57bca21 ("linux/const.h: Extract common header for vDSO") and commit 8c59ab839f52 ("lib/vdso: Enable common headers"). On some architectures this results in missing PAGE_SIZE, as was described by commit 8b3843ae3634 ("vdso/datapage: Quick fix - use asm/page-def.h for ARM64"), so define this if necessary, in the same way as done prior by commit cffaefd15a8f ("vdso: Use CONFIG_PAGE_SHIFT in vdso/datapage.h"). Removing linux/time64.h leads to missing 'struct timespec64' in x86's asm/pvclock.h. Add a forward declaration of that struct in that file.

2019-06-22lib/vdso: Provide generic VDSO implementationVincenzo Frascino1-0/+56
In the last few years the kernel gained quite some architecture specific vdso implementations which contain very similar code. Introduce a generic VDSO implementation of gettimeofday() which will be shareable between architectures once they are converted over. The implementation is based on the current x86 VDSO code.
