[PATCH 2/6] arm64/vdso: Zap vvar pages when switching to a time namespace

From: Andrei Vagin
Date: Wed Jun 24 2020 - 04:33:50 EST


The order of vvar pages depends on whether a task belongs to the root
time namespace or not. In the root time namespace, a task doesn't have a
per-namespace page. In a non-root namespace, the VVAR page which contains
the system-wide VDSO data is replaced with a namespace specific page
that contains clock offsets.

Whenever a task changes its namespace, the VVAR page tables are cleared
and then they will be re-faulted with a corresponding layout.

A task can switch its time namespace only if its ->mm isn't shared with
another task.
