The kernel provided vdso functions do not get a stack frame from the calling function and therefore may not change the stack contents, unless they allocate space on their own. This problem was exposed with 070b7be6 "s390/vdso: replace stck with stcke" which writes 16 bytes instead of 8 bytes into the stack frame. These additional 8 bytes however were indeed used by the caller (glibc) to save data and therefore this data was corrupted by the vdso code.

If gettimeofday / clock_gettime are called multiple times in a row the STCK instruction will stall until a difference in the result is visible. This unnecessarily slows down the vdso calls, use stcke instead of stck to get rid of the stall. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

With git commit 79c74ecb "s390/time,vdso: convert to the new update_vsyscall interface" the new update_vsyscall function already does the sum of xtime and wall_to_monotonic. The old update_vsyscall function only copied the wall_to_monotonic offset. The vdso code needs to be modified to take this into consideration.

The code to use the ECTG instruction to calculate the cputime for the current thread is currently used only for the per-thread CPU-clock with the clockid -2 (PID=0, VIRT=1). Use the same code for the clockid CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID to speed up the more common clockid as well.

The CLOCK_* defines in asm-offsets.c are only used for the vdso code however in the meantime they cause other trouble. Just rename them to get permanently rid of this: In file included from /home2/heicarst/linux-2.6/arch/s390/include/asm/asm-offsets.h:1:0, from arch/s390/mm/fault.c:33: include/generated/asm-offsets.h:53:0: warning: "CLOCK_REALTIME" redefined include/linux/time.h:286:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition include/generated/asm-offsets.h:54:0: warning: "CLOCK_MONOTONIC" redefined include/linux/time.h:287:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Commit "timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp" (0696b711) introduced the new parameter "mult" to update_vsyscall(). This parameter contains the internal NTP adjusted clock multiplier. The s390x vdso did not use this adjusted multiplier. Instead, it used the constant clock multiplier for gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() variants. This may result in observable time warps as explained in commit 0696b711. Make the NTP adjusted clock multiplier available to the s390x vdso implementation and use it for time calculations.

The combination of noexec=on and a clock_gettime call with clock id CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is broken. The vdso code switches to the access register mode to get access to the per-cpu data structure to execute the magic ectg instruction. After the ectg instruction the code always switches back to the primary mode but for noexec=on the correct mode is the secondary mode. The effect of the bug is that the user space program looses the access to all mappings without PROT_EXEC, e.g. the stack. The problem is fixed by restoring the mode that has been active before the switch to the access register mode. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.
