selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_correctness: Add a test for time()

2026-03-11T14:23:24Z

Extend the test to also cover the time() function. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov (AMD) Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260227-vdso-selftest-cleanups-v2-6-d84830fa8beb@linutronix.de

selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_correctness: Use facilities from parse_vdso.c

2026-03-11T14:23:18Z

The soname from the vDSO is not a public API. Furthermore it requires libc to implement dlsym() and friends. Use the facilities from parse_vdso.c instead which uses the official vDSO ABI to find it, aligned with the other vDSO selftests.

selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_correctness: Handle different tv_usec types

2026-03-11T14:23:11Z

On SPARC the field tv_usec of 'struct timespec' is not a 'long int', but only a regular int. In this case the format string is incorrect and will trigger compiler warnings. Avoid the warnings by casting to 'long long', similar to how it is done for the tv_sec and what the other similar selftests are doing.

Revert "selftests: vDSO: parse_vdso: Use UAPI headers instead of libc headers"

2026-03-11T14:22:55Z

This reverts commit c9fbaa879508 ("selftests: vDSO: parse_vdso: Use UAPI headers instead of libc headers") The kernel headers were used to make parse_vdso.c compatible with nolibc. Unfortunately linux/elf.h is incompatible with glibc's sys/auxv.h. When using glibc it is therefore not possible build parse_vdso.c as part of the same compilation unit as its caller as sys/auxv.h is needed for getauxval(). In the meantime nolibc gained its own elf.h, providing compatibility with the documented libc interfaces.

Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner: - Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres() This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI. - Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to make it work. - Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy() The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values __builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores - Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof() The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when __beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof(). Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and capable of handling it. - Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common() Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable initialization. Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size. * tag 'timers-vdso-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: vdso/gettimeofday: Force inlining of __cvdso_clock_getres_common() x86/percpu: Make CONFIG_USE_X86_SEG_SUPPORT work with sparse compiler: Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof() powerpc/vdso: Provide clock_getres_time64() tools headers: Remove unneeded ignoring of warnings in unaligned.h tools headers: Update the linux/unaligned.h copy with the kernel sources vdso: Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy() parisc: Inline a type punning version of get_unaligned_le32() vdso: Remove struct getcpu_cache MIPS: vdso: Provide getres_time64() for 32-bit ABIs arm64: vdso32: Provide clock_getres_time64() ARM: VDSO: Provide clock_getres_time64() ARM: VDSO: Patch out __vdso_clock_getres() if unavailable x86/vdso: Provide clock_getres_time64() for x86-32 selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_abi: Add test for clock_getres_time64() selftests: vDSO: vdso_test_abi: Use UAPI system call numbers selftests: vDSO: vdso_config: Add configurations for clock_getres_time64() vdso: Add prototype for __vdso_clock_getres_time64()
