*	[PATCH] powerpc: Make the vDSO functions set error code (#2)	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	2005-11-16	1	-1/+1
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	The vDSO functions should have the same calling convention as a syscall. Unfortunately, they currently don't set the cr0.so bit which is used to indicate an error. This patch makes them clear this bit unconditionally since all functions currently succeed. The syscall fallback done by some of them will eventually override this if the syscall fails. This also changes the symbol version of all vdso exports to make sure glibc can differenciate between old and fixed calls for existing ones like __kernel_gettimeofday.

*	[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support to 32 bits kernel	Benjamin Herrenschmidt	2005-11-11	1	-0/+83
	This patch moves the vdso's to arch/powerpc, adds support for the 32 bits vdso to the 32 bits kernel, rename systemcfg (finally !), and adds some new (still untested) routines to both vdso's: clock_gettime() with support for CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, clock_getres() (same clocks) and get_tbfreq() for glibc to retreive the timebase frequency. Tom,Steve: The implementation of get_tbfreq() I've done for 32 bits returns a long long (r3, r4) not a long. This is such that if we ever add support for >4Ghz timebases on ppc32, the userland interface won't have to change. I have tested gettimeofday() using some glibc patches in both ppc32 and ppc64 kernels using 32 bits userland (I haven't had a chance to test a 64 bits userland yet, but the implementation didn't change and was tested earlier). I haven't tested yet the new functions. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
