Subject: [PATCH v3 00/36] sparc64: vdso: Switch to the generic vDSO library
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 16:00:02 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250917-vdso-sparc64-generic-2-v3-0-3679b1bc8ee8@linutronix.de> (raw)
The generic vDSO provides a lot common functionality shared between
different architectures. SPARC is the last architecture not using it,
preventing some necessary code cleanup.
Make use of the generic infrastructure.
Follow-up to and replacement for Arnd's SPARC vDSO removal patches:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250707144726.4008707-1-arnd@kernel.org/
Tested on a Niagara T4 and QEMU.
This has a semantic conflict with my series "vdso: Reject absolute
relocations during build". The last patch of this series expects all users
of the generic vDSO library to use the vdsocheck tool.
This is not the case (yet) for SPARC64. I do have the patches for the
integration, the specifics will depend on which series is applied first.
Based on tip/timers/vdso.

Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>
---
Changes in v3:
- Allocate vDSO data pages dynamically (and lots of preparations for that)
- Drop clock_getres()
- Fix 32bit clock_gettime() syscall fallback
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250815-vdso-sparc64-generic-2-v2-0-b5ff80672347@linutronix.de
Changes in v2:
- Rebase on v6.17-rc1
- Drop RFC state
- Fix typo in commit message
- Drop duplicate 'select GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL'
- Merge "sparc64: time: Remove architecture-specific clocksource data" into the
main conversion patch. It violated the check in __clocksource_register_scale()
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250724-vdso-sparc64-generic-2-v1-0-e376a3bd24d1@linutronix.de
