2025-03-08vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clockAnna-Maria Behnsen
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 Behnsen
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 Weißschuh
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 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.
