Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] selftests: vDSO: Stop using libc types for vDSO calls
Date: Thu, 03 Sep 2026 09:38:12 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260903-vdso-test-types-v2-0-1eec04eb3658@linutronix.de> (raw)

Currently the vDSO selftests use the time-related types from libc.
This works on glibc by chance today but will break with other libc
implementations or on distributions which switch to 64-bit times
everywhere.

The kernel's UAPI headers provide the proper types to use with the vDSO
(and raw syscalls) but are not necessarily compatible with libc types.
Introduce a new header which makes the UAPI headers compatible with the
libc.

Also contains some related cleanups.

Changes in v2:
- Rebase on v7.13-rc1.
- Use __kernel_old_time_t in vdso_time_t.
- Add vdso_syscalls.h.
- Add a test for the time() function.
- Use __NR_* over SYS_* syscall constants.
- Drop already applied patches.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251111-vdso-test-types-v1-0-03b31f88c659@linutronix.de
