[PATCH 0/3] MIPS VDSO support

[Markos Chandras]

Hi,

This series adds a proper VDSO to the kernel on MIPS. The first commit
adds the basic VDSO, replacing the current signal return trampoline
page. The following commits add user implementations of gettimeofday() and
clock_gettime() which can make use of either the CP0 count or the GIC
user-mode visible section.

A tree with these changes can be found at [1]. It's based on v4.3-rc3

Use of the time functions relies on glibc modifications. A patch for
this can be found in my repository at [2] and I will soon post it to the glibc
mailing list.
