Subject: [PATCH] timekeeping/vsyscall: Update vdso data unconditionally
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 11:28:29 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1571887709-11447-1-git-send-email-chenhc@lemote.com> (raw)
In do_hres(), we currently use whether the return value of __arch_get_
hw_counter() is negative to indicate fallback, but MIPS returns 0 when
clock_mode is invalid.
It is sure that MIPS has a bug when clock_mode is invalid and should
return ULL_MAX as ARM64 does (Vincenzo has already submitted a patch).
But at the time we found another bug: currently update_vsyscall() and
update_vsyscall_tz() rely on __arch_use_vsyscall() to update the vdso
data, which causes __cvdso_clock_getres() and some other functions get
wrong results when clock_mode is invalid. So, in this patch we update
vdso data unconditionally.
Fixes: 44f57d788e7deecb50 ("timekeeping: Provide a generic update_vsyscall() implementation")
