vdso: Drop Kconfig GENERIC_VDSO_DATA_STORE

2025-09-04T09:23:50+00:00

All users of the generic vDSO library also use the generic vDSO datastore.

Remove the now unnecessary Kconfig symbol.

vdso/vsyscall: Split up __arch_update_vsyscall() into __arch_update_vdso_clock()

2025-07-09T09:52:34+00:00

The upcoming auxiliary clocks need this hook, too.
To separate the architecture hooks from the timekeeper internals, refactor
the hook to only operate on a single vDSO clock.

While at it, use a more robust #define for the hook override.

vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock

2025-03-08T13:37:41+00:00

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.

vdso: Remove remnants of architecture-specific time storage

2025-02-21T08:54:03+00:00

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.

vdso: Add generic random data storage

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

Extend the generic vDSO data storage with a page for the random state data.
The random state data is stored in a dedicated page, as the existing
storage page is only meant for time-related, time-namespace-aware data.
This simplifies to access logic to not need to handle time namespaces
anymore and also frees up more space in the time-related page.

In case further generic vDSO data store is required it can be added to
the random state page.

vdso: Add generic time data storage

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

Historically each architecture defined their own way to store the vDSO
data page. Add a generic mechanism to provide storage for that page.

Furthermore this generic storage will be extended to also provide
uniform storage for *non*-time-related data, like the random state or
architecture-specific data. These will have their own pages and data
structures, so rename 'vdso_data' into 'vdso_time_data' to make that
split clear from the name.

Also introduce a new consistent naming scheme for the symbols related to
the vDSO, which makes it clear if the symbol is accessible from
userspace or kernel space and the type of data behind the symbol.

The generic fault handler contains an optimization to prefault the vvar
page when the timens page is accessed. This was lifted from s390 and x86.

vdso: Remove timekeeper argument of __arch_update_vsyscall()

2024-10-15T15:50:28+00:00

No implementation of this hook uses the passed in timekeeper anymore.

This avoids including a non-VDSO header while building the VDSO, which can
lead to compilation errors.

lib/vdso: Avoid highres update if clocksource is not VDSO capable

2020-02-17T19:12:17+00:00

If the current clocksource is not VDSO capable there is no point in
updating the high resolution parts of the VDSO data.

Replace the architecture specific check with a check for a VDSO capable
clocksource and skip the update if there is none.
