I am hoping that we well get further cleanups, but art this point I'm not sure it is worth blocking it for 3.15 over that On March 27, 2014 1:44:00 PM PDT, John Stultz wrote: >On 03/17/2014 03:22 PM, Stefani Seibold wrote: >> This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer. >>

[PATCH v23 10/13] x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 64 bit kernel

2014-03-17 Thread Stefani Seibold
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 mus
