* timekeeping: Create struct tk_read_base and use it in struct timekeeperThomas Gleixner2014-07-231-11/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The members of the new struct are the required ones for the new NMI safe accessor to clcok monotonic. In order to reuse the existing timekeeping code and to make the update of the fast NMI safe timekeepers a simple memcpy use the struct for the timekeeper as well and convert all users.

* clocksource: Get rid of cycle_lastThomas Gleixner2014-07-231-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | cycle_last was added to the clocksource to support the TSC validation. We moved that to the core code, so we can get rid of the extra copy. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: John Stultz <john.stultz@linaro.org>
* x86, vdso, time: Cast tv_nsec to u64 for proper shifting in update_vsyscall()Boris Ostrovsky2014-05-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec being a 32-bit value on 32-bit systems, (tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec << tk->shift) in update_vsyscall() may lose upper bits or, worse, add them since compiler will do this: (u64)(tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec << tk->shift) instead of ((u64)tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_nsec << tk->shift) So if, for example, tv_nsec is 0x800000 and shift is 8 we will end up with 0xffffffff80000000 instead of 0x80000000. And then we are stuck in the subsequent 'while' loop. We need an explicit cast.

* x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 64 bit kernelStefani Seibold2014-03-181-12/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer. Due the nature of the kernel headers and the LP64 compiler where the size of a long and a pointer differs against a 32 bit compiler, there is some type hacking necessary for optimal performance. The vsyscall_gtod_data struture must be a rearranged to serve 32- and 64-bit code access at the same time: - The seqcount_t was replaced by an unsigned, this makes the vsyscall_gtod_data intedepend of kernel configuration and internal functions. - All kernel internal structures are replaced by fix size elements which works for 32- and 64-bit access - The inner struct clock was removed to pack the whole struct. The "unsigned seq" would be handled by functions derivated from seqcount_t.

* x86, vdso: Make vsyscall_gtod_data handling x86 genericStefani Seibold2014-03-181-0/+59
This patch move the vsyscall_gtod_data handling out of vsyscall_64.c into an additonal file vsyscall_gtod.c to make the functionality available for x86 32 bit kernel. It also adds a new vsyscall_32.c which setup the VVAR page.
