[PATCH 3.16 041/136] arm64: vdso: fix clock_getres for 4GiB-aligned res
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sat Feb 10 2018 - 23:39:37 EST
3.16.54-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx>
commit c80ed088a519da53f27b798a69748eaabc66aadf upstream.
The vdso tries to check for a NULL res pointer in __kernel_clock_getres,
but only checks the lower 32 bits as is uses CBZ on the W register the
res pointer is held in.
Thus, if the res pointer happened to be aligned to a 4GiB boundary, we'd
spuriously skip storing the timespec to it, while returning a zero error code
to the caller.
Prevent this by checking the whole pointer, using CBZ on the X register
the res pointer is held in.
