Re: [PATCH] mips: vdso: conditionalize 32-bit time functions on COMPAT_32BIT_TIME

[Jason A. Donenfeld]

Makes sense w.r.t. time32 situation.

I still think that in spite of that there's still something weird
happening with the mips VDSO.

Here's a register dump before the call:

 $ 0   : 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 0000000010000000 fffffffffffffffc
 $ 4   : 0000000000000002 000000007fff2e40 0000000000000000 0000000000000001
 $ 8   : 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000
 $12   : 0000000000000000 000000000000000a ffffffff80000000 000000007fffffda
 $16   : 0000000010001ba8 0000005800000015 0000000010000000 0000000010000000
 $20   : 0000000010000000 0000000010000000 0000000000000000 0000000077ff2ae8
 $24   : 0000000000000005 0000000077fa1d18
 $28   : 0000000010019cf0 000000007fff2e40 0000000000000000 0000000010000c30

 ra    : 0000000010000c30 0x10000c30

And here it is immediately after:

 $ 0   : 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 ffffffffffffffa7 000000007fff5000

 $24   : 0000000000000005 0000000000000000
 $28   : 000000007fff5000 000000007fff2e30 0000000000000000 0000000077fa1e00

I wonder if a toolchain option or compiler bug or something is causing
the vdso to not restore certain registers (gp? ra?).
