If my understanding is correct, you may want to move the > hrtimer_res setting in update_vsyscall() to the !use_syscall block. > Ok, so let me try to provide more details on what I mentioned yesterday: - clock_getres syscall follows the rules of what defined in posix-timers.c - based on the clock_id that, for this purpose, can be separated in coarse and non-coarse calls either posix_get_coarse_res() or posix_get_hrtimer_res(). - if clock id is set to a coarse clock and posix_get_coarse_res() is invoked, happens what follows: static int posix_get_coarse_res(const clockid_t which_clock, struct timespec64 *tp) { *tp = ktime_to_timespec64(KTIME_LOW_RES); return 0; } Note that since CONFIG_1HZ seems not supported (jiffies.h) by the kernel in this case we do not need rounding in our vDSO implementation. - if clock id is set to non-coarse and posix_get_hrtimer_res() is invoked, happens the following: static int posix_get_hrtimer_res(clockid_t which_clock, struct timespec64 *tp) { tp->tv_sec = 0; tp->tv_nsec = hrtimer_resolution; return 0; } hrtimer_resolution can be high res or low res depending on the call of hrtimer_switch_to_hres(). For us the only way to preserve the correct value is to keep it in the vdso data page. - The assembly code mimics exactly the same behaviour detailed above, with one difference: the one related to the use_syscall parameter which is specific to arm64. The use_syscall parameter is set by arm_arch_timer and consumed by update_vsyscall(). To mirror what update_vsyscall does in update_vsyscall() I check "syscall_check fail=5f" in clock_getres vdso function. Said that, even if functionally it is the same thing, I think it is logically more correct to have hrtimer_res setting inside the !use_syscall block, hence I am going to change it in the next iteration. Please let me know your thoughts. -- Regards, Vincenzo _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
