Subject: musl: fix mips vdso handling
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=998f8bd02c128e0c0dcc6a8228ae5aabfec05468;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fmans0n.git

musl: fix mips vdso handling

mips returns -ENOSYS in case it can not handle the vdso call and wants
the libc to call the original syscall in such a case. This fixes the
patch to add such handling. I hope this fixes the random reboots I got.

 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mips: add vdso support
@@ -7,10 +7,32 @@ vdso support is available on mips starting with kernel 4.4, see kernel
 commit a7f4df4e21 "MIPS: VDSO: Add implementations of gettimeofday()
 and clock_gettime()" for details.
 
+In Linux kernel 4.4.0 the mips code returns -ENOSYS in case it can not
+handle the vdso call and assumes the libc will call the original
+syscall in this case. Handle this case in musl. Currently Linux kernel
+4.4.0 handles the following types: CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE,
+CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
+
+These are some measurements of calling clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC,
+&tp); 1.000.000 times.

+with vdso:
+root@OpenWrt:/# time /usr/bin/vdso-test
+real 0m 0.35s
+user 0m 0.34s
