This is a second tentative to switch powerpc/32 vdso to generic C
implementation.
It will likely not work on 64 bits or even build properly at the moment.
powerpc is a bit special for VDSO as well as system calls in the
way that it requires setting CR SO bit which cannot be done in C.
Therefore, entry/exit and fallback needs to be performed in ASM.
To allow that, the fallback calls are moved out of the common code
and left to the arches.
A few other changes in the common code have allowed performance improvement.
The performance has improved since first RFC, but it is still lower than
current assembly VDSO.
On a powerpc8xx, with current powerpc/32 ASM VDSO:
gettimeofday: vdso: 737 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 475 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 892 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 475 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 1014 nsec/call
First try of C implementation:
gettimeofday: vdso: 1533 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 853 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 1570 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 835 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 1605 nsec/call
With this series:
gettimeofday: vdso: 1016 nsec/call
clock-getres-realtime: vdso: 560 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 1192 nsec/call
clock-getres-monotonic: vdso: 560 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 1192 nsec/call
Changes made to other arches are untested, not even compiled.
Christophe Leroy (10):
lib: vdso: ensure all arches have 32bit fallback
lib: vdso: move call to fallback out of common code.
lib: vdso: Change __cvdso_clock_gettime/getres_common() to
__cvdso_clock_gettime/getres()
lib: vdso: get pointer to vdso data from the arch
lib: vdso: inline do_hres()
lib: vdso: make do_coarse() return 0
lib: vdso: don't use READ_ONCE() in __c_kernel_time()
lib: vdso: Avoid duplication in __cvdso_clock_getres()
powerpc/vdso32: inline __get_datapage()
powerpc/32: Switch VDSO to C implementation.
