Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ARM: VDSO: fix coarse clock monotonicity regression
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2015 21:03:22 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438999403-5770-2-git-send-email-nathan_lynch@mentor.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1438999403-5770-1-git-send-email-nathan_lynch@mentor.com>
Since 906c55579a63 ("timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the
real timekeeper last") it has become possible on ARM to:
- Obtain a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE timestamp
via syscall.
- Subsequently obtain a timestamp for the same clock ID via VDSO which
predates the first timestamp (by one jiffy).
This is because ARM's update_vsyscall is deriving the coarse time
using the __current_kernel_time interface, when it should really be
using the timekeeper object provided to it by the timekeeping core.
It happened to work before only because __current_kernel_time would
access the same timekeeper object which had been passed to
update_vsyscall. This is no longer the case.
