ARM: VDSO: Respect COMPAT_32BIT_TIME

2026-07-07T21:52:53+00:00

If CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME is disabled then the vDSO should not provide any 32-bit time related functionality. This is the intended effect of the kconfig option and also the fallback system calls would also not be implemented.

ARM: VDSO: Provide clock_getres_time64()

2026-01-13T13:42:23+00:00

For consistency with __vdso_clock_gettime64() there should also be a 64-bit variant of clock_getres(). This will allow the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.

arm: vdso: Switch to generic storage implementation

2025-02-21T08:54:02+00:00

The generic storage implementation provides the same features as the custom one. However it can be shared between architectures, making maintenance easier.

vdso: Rename included Makefile

2025-02-21T08:54:01+00:00

As the Makefile is included into other Makefiles it can not be used to define objects to be built from the current source directory. However the generic datastore will introduce such a local source file. Rename the included Makefile so it is clear how it is to be used and to make room for a regular Makefile in lib/vdso/.

ARM: vdso: Remove assembly for datapage access

2024-11-02T11:37:33+00:00

vdso/datapage.h provides a hidden declaration for _vdso_data. When using it the compiler will automatically generate PC-relative accesses which avoids the need for a custom assembly-based accessor.

Makefile: remove redundant tool coverage variables

2024-05-14T14:35:48+00:00

Now Kbuild provides reasonable defaults for objtool, sanitizers, and profilers. Remove redundant variables. Note: This commit changes the coverage for some objects: - include arch/mips/vdso/vdso-image.o into UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/sparc/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into UBSAN - include arch/sparc/vdso/vma.o into UBSAN - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/extable.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso-image-*.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32-setup.o into KASAN, KCSAN, UBSAN, GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/entry/vdso/vma.o into GCOV, KCOV - include arch/x86/um/vdso/vma.o into KASAN, GCOV, KCOV I believe these are positive effects because all of them are kernel space objects.

arch: vdso: consolidate gettime prototypes

2023-11-23T10:32:32+00:00

The VDSO functions are defined as globals in the kernel sources but intended to be called from userspace, so there is no need to declare them in a kernel side header. Without a prototype, this now causes warnings such as arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:14:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:28:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:36:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_getres' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:42:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime64' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:254:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:282:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:307:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:343:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] Most architectures have already added workarounds for these by adding declarations somewhere, but since these are all compatible, we should really just have one copy, with an #ifdef check for the 32-bit vs 64-bit variant and use that everywhere. Unfortunately, the sparc an um versions are currently incompatible since they never added support for __vdso_clock_gettime64() in 32-bit userland. For the moment, I'm leaving this one out, as I can't easily test it and it requires a larger rework. Reviewed-by: Vincenzo Frascino Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

kbuild: unify vdso_install rules

2023-10-28T12:09:02+00:00

Currently, there is no standard implementation for vdso_install, leading to various issues: 1. Code duplication Many architectures duplicate similar code just for copying files to the install destination. Some architectures (arm, sparc, x86) create build-id symlinks, introducing more code duplication. 2. Unintended updates of in-tree build artifacts The vdso_install rule depends on the vdso files to install. It may update in-tree build artifacts. This can be problematic, as explained in commit 19514fc665ff ("arm, kbuild: make "make install" not depend on vmlinux"). 3. Broken code in some architectures Makefile code is often copied from one architecture to another without proper adaptation. 'make vdso_install' for parisc does not work. 'make vdso_install' for s390 installs vdso64, but not vdso32. To address these problems, this commit introduces a generic vdso_install rule. Architectures that support vdso_install need to define vdso-install-y in arch/*/Makefile. vdso-install-y lists the files to install. For example, arch/x86/Makefile looks like this: vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_64) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_X32_ABI) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdsox32.so.dbg vdso-install-$(CONFIG_X86_32) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg vdso-install-$(CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION) += arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg These files will be installed to $(MODLIB)/vdso/ with the .dbg suffix, if exists, stripped away. vdso-install-y can optionally take the second field after the colon separator. This is needed because some architectures install a vdso file as a different base name. The following is a snippet from arch/arm64/Makefile. vdso-install-$(CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO) += arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vdso.so.dbg:vdso32.so This will rename vdso.so.dbg to vdso32.so during installation. If such architectures change their implementation so that the base names match, this workaround will go away.
