2024-09-13random: vDSO: minimize and simplify header includesChristophe Leroy
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 Frascino
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.
