* x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 64 bit kernelStefani Seibold2014-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch add the VDSO time support for the IA32 Emulation Layer. Due the nature of the kernel headers and the LP64 compiler where the size of a long and a pointer differs against a 32 bit compiler, there is some type hacking necessary for optimal performance. The vsyscall_gtod_data struture must be a rearranged to serve 32- and 64-bit code access at the same time: - The seqcount_t was replaced by an unsigned, this makes the vsyscall_gtod_data intedepend of kernel configuration and internal functions. - All kernel internal structures are replaced by fix size elements which works for 32- and 64-bit access - The inner struct clock was removed to pack the whole struct. The "unsigned seq" would be handled by functions derivated from seqcount_t.

This patch add the time support for 32 bit a VDSO to a 32 bit kernel. For 32 bit programs running on a 32 bit kernel, the same mechanism is used as for 64 bit programs running on a 64 bit kernel.
