[PATCH v4 0/8] powerpc/vdso32 enhancement and optimisation

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Mon Dec 02 2019 - 02:57:45 EST


This series:
- adds getcpu() on non SMP ppc32
- adds coarse clocks in clock_gettime
- fixes and adds all clocks in clock_getres
- optimises the retrieval of the datapage address
- optimises the cache functions

v4:
- Rebased on top of ceb307474506 ("Merge tag 'y2038-cleanups-5.5' of git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground")
- Fixed build failure with old binutils reported by mpe (patch 4)

v3:
- Dropped the 'fast syscall' hack for getcpu() on SMP.
- Moved get_datapage macro into asm/vdso_datapage.h so that it can be used on PPC64 as well.

v2:
- Used named labels in patch 2
- Added patch from Vincenzo to fix clock_getres() (patch 3)
- Removed unnecessary label in patch 4 as suggested by Segher
- Added patches 5 to 8

Christophe Leroy (8):
powerpc/32: Add VDSO version of getcpu on non SMP
powerpc/vdso32: Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE
powerpc: Fix vDSO clock_getres()
powerpc/vdso32: inline __get_datapage()
powerpc/vdso32: Don't read cache line size from the datapage on PPC32.
powerpc/vdso32: use LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE()
powerpc/vdso32: implement clock_getres entirely
powerpc/vdso32: miscellaneous optimisations
