2014-11-03x86,vdso: Use LSL unconditionally for vgetcpuAndy Lutomirski
LSL is faster than RDTSCP and works everywhere; there's no need to switch between them depending on CPU.

2014-10-28x86_64/vdso: Remove jiffies from the vvar pageAndy Lutomirski
I think that the jiffies vvar was once used for the vgetcpu cache. That code is long gone, so let's just make jiffies be a normal variable.

2014-05-05x86, vdso: Move the vvar and hpet mappings next to the 64-bit vDSOAndy Lutomirski
This makes the 64-bit and x32 vdsos use the same mechanism as the 32-bit vdso. Most of the churn is deleting all the old fixmap code.

2014-03-18x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 64 bit kernelStefani Seibold
This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer. Due the nature of the kernel headers and the LP64 compiler where the size of a long and a pointer differs against a 32 bit compiler, there is some type hacking necessary for optimal performance. The vsyscall_gtod_data struture must be a rearranged to serve 32- and 64-bit code access at the same time: - The seqcount_t was replaced by an unsigned, this makes the vsyscall_gtod_data intedepend of kernel configuration and internal functions. - All kernel internal structures are replaced by fix size elements which works for 32- and 64-bit access - The inner struct clock was removed to pack the whole struct. The "unsigned seq" would be handled by functions derivated from seqcount_t.

2014-03-18x86, vdso: Make vsyscall_gtod_data handling x86 genericStefani Seibold
This patch move the vsyscall_gtod_data handling out of vsyscall_64.c into an additonal file vsyscall_gtod.c to make the functionality available for x86 32 bit kernel. It also adds a new vsyscall_32.c which setup the VVAR page.

2011-06-05x86-64: Give vvars their own pageAndy Lutomirski
Move vvars out of the vsyscall page into their own page and mark it NX. Without this patch, an attacker who can force a daemon to call some fixed address could wait until the time contains, say, 0xCD80, and then execute the current time.

2011-05-24x86-64: Clean up vdso/kernel shared variablesAndy Lutomirski
Variables that are shared between the vdso and the kernel are currently a bit of a mess. They are each defined with their own magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page, and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really exist. This changes them all to use a common mechanism. All of them are delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker script). In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary read-write variables. In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access. The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups. As a side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of indirection is removed. While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same cacheline.
