Subject: [PATCH 3/3 v3] arm64: vdso: Fix nsec handling for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
Date: Thu, 8 Jun 2017 16:44:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1496965462-20003-4-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1496965462-20003-1-git-send-email-john.stultz@linaro.org>
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
Recently vDSO support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW was added in
49eea433b326 ("arm64: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in
clock_gettime() vDSO"). Noticing that the core timekeeping code
never set tkr_raw.xtime_nsec, the vDSO implementation didn't
bother exposing it via the data page and instead took the
unshifted tk->raw_time.tv_nsec value which was then immediately
shifted left in the vDSO code.
Unfortunately, by accellerating the MONOTONIC_RAW clockid, it
uncovered potential 1ns time inconsistencies caused by the
timekeeping core not handing sub-ns resolution.
Now that the core code has been fixed and is actually setting
tkr_raw.xtime_nsec, we need to take that into account in the
vDSO by adding it to the shifted raw_time value, in order to
fix the user-visible inconsistency. Rather than do that at each
use (and expand the data page in the process), instead perform
the shift/addition operation when populating the data page and
remove the shift from the vDSO code entirely.
