Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] vDSO fixes, on top of tip/x86/vdso
Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:18:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1393545985.git.luto@amacapital.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CALCETrW_PHbDzn2S3NyGTSk4yqYjnpJbStCuLc_yBGdfspfFCA@mail.gmail.com>

I'd still like someone else to confirm that the 32-bit vDSO is working
on all common configurations before I'm happy with it, but this should
be a considerable improvement.

Someone who maintains the clock code should review the changes in:

    commit 0fc8a237cbe98a06962f5ea37d24fc2369e23c74
    Author: Stefani Seibold <stefani@seibold.net>
    Date:   Wed Feb 19 10:09:10 2014 +0100
    
        x86, vdso: Add 32-bit VDSO time support for the 64-bit kernel

very carefully.

There's still something extremely questionable about VDSO_PAGES in the
32-bit vDSO code.  It appears to be terminally screwed up, and AFAICS it
only works at all because none of the 32-bit vDSO images ever exceed
4096 bytes.

Note: Patch 4 fixes a bug that's present even in -linus, so it might
make sense to send it to Linus more quickly than the rest of this
series.

Changes from v1:
 - Adjust CFLAGS instead of using asmlinkage.
 - Add more fixes.

Andy Lutomirski (4):
  x86: Use the default ABI for the 32-bit vDSO
  x86: Inline the CLOCK_MONOTONIC vdso code
  x86: Patch alternatives in the 32-bit vDSO
  x86: Zero-pad the VVAR page
