From 09edea4f8fdeb4e292b80d493296070f5ec64e6e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Lynch Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2015 17:36:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ARM: 8410/1: VDSO: fix coarse clock monotonicity regression Since 906c55579a63 ("timekeeping: Copy the shadow-timekeeper over the real timekeeper last") it has become possible on ARM to: - Obtain a CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE or CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE timestamp via syscall. - Subsequently obtain a timestamp for the same clock ID via VDSO which predates the first timestamp (by one jiffy). This is because ARM's update_vsyscall is deriving the coarse time using the __current_kernel_time interface, when it should really be using the timekeeper object provided to it by the timekeeping core. It happened to work before only because __current_kernel_time would access the same timekeeper object which had been passed to update_vsyscall. This is no longer the case.
