vDSO (virtual dynamic shared object) is a mechanism that the Linux
kernel provides as an alternative to system calls to reduce where
possible the costs in terms of cycles.
This is possible because certain syscalls like gettimeofday() do
not write any data and return one or more values that are stored
in the kernel, which makes relatively safe calling them directly
as a library function.

Even if the mechanism is pretty much standard, every architecture
in the last few years ended up implementing their own vDSO library
in the architectural code.

The purpose of this patch-set is to identify the commonalities in
between the architectures and try to consolidate the common code
paths, starting with gettimeofday().

This implementation contains the following design choices:
 * Every architecture defines the arch specific code in an header in
   "asm/vdso/".
 * The generic implementation includes the arch specific one and lives
   in "lib/vdso".
 * The arch specific code for gettimeofday lives in
   "<arch path>/vdso/gettimeofday.c" and includes the generic code only.
 * The generic implementation of update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz
   lives in kernel/vdso and provide the bindings that can be implemented
   by each architecture.
 * Each architecture provides its implementation of the bindings in
   "asm/vdso/vsyscall.h".
 * This approach allows to consolidate the common code in a single place
   with the benefit of avoiding code duplication.

This implementation contains the portings to the common library for: arm64,
compat mode for arm64, arm, mips, x86_64, x32, compat mode for x86_64 and
i386.

The mips porting has been tested on qemu for mips32el. A configuration to
repeat the tests can be found at [4].

The x86_64 porting has been tested on an Intel Xeon 5120T based machine
running Ubuntu 18.04 and using the Ubuntu provided defconfig.

The i386 porting has been tested on qemu using the i386_defconfig
configuration.

Last but not least from this porting arm64, compat arm64, arm and mips gain
the support for:
 * CLOCK_BOOTTIME that can be useful in certain scenarios since it keeps
   track of the time during sleep as well.
 * CLOCK_TAI that is like CLOCK_REALTIME, but uses the International
   Atomic Time (TAI) reference instead of UTC to avoid jumping on leap
   second updates.
for both clock_gettime and clock_getres.

The porting has been validated using the vdsotest test-suite [1] extended
to cover all the clock ids [2].

A new test has been added to the linux kselftest in order to validate the
newly added library.

The porting has been benchmarked and the performance results are
provided as part of this cover letter.

To simplify the testing, a copy of the patchset on top of a recent linux
tree can be found at [3] and [4].

The v7 of this patchseries has been rebased on [5].

I picked up the core implementation and the ARM64 and x86 conversion. I did
some refinements in several places, coding style, naming conventions,
comments and changelogs including subject prefixes. Please double check!

I did not merge the ARM and MIPS parts as they lack any form of
acknowlegment from their maintainers. Please talk to those folks. If they
ack/review the changes then I can pick them up and they go into 5.3 or they
have to go in a later cycle. Nevertheless it was well worth the trouble to
have those conversions done to confirm that the new common library fits a
bunch of different architectures.

As you can see from the commit dates, this has soaked for some time in a
WIP branch and I did extensive regression testing. So far so good.

Thanks a lot for going through several iterations. It's a very much
appreciated effort!

Especially with the upcoming time namespaces this will avoid a lot of
duplicated and pointlessly different horrors all over the architecture
space. Any architecture which wants to gain that support needs to convert
to the generic VDSO first.

As you have become the dude who knows almost everything about VDSO
including all the nasty pitfalls, I propose the patch below.

Thanks,

Asign the following folks in alphabetic order:

 - Andy for being the VDSO wizard of x86 and in general. He's also the
   performance monitor of choice and the code in the generic library is
   heavily influenced by his previous x86 VDSO work.

 - Thomas for being the dude who has to deal with any form of time(r)
   nonsense anyway

 - Vincenzo for being the poor sod who went through all the different
   architecture implementations in order to unify them. A lot of knowledge
   gained from VDSO implementation details to the intricacies of taming the
   build system.

[ ... ]

Some numbers for the ARM(32) part:

I booted my trusted old Calxeda Midway server (Cortex A-15 cores) and ran
the vdsotest benchmark on it. The results are:
(vdso: times, in nsec/call; n/t: "not tested" (=not implemented))
call				5.2-rc3	5.2-rc3-vdso
clock-gettime-monotonic:        147     142
clock-getres-monotonic:         n/t     34
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: 90      96
clock-getres-monotonic-coarse:  n/t     36
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:    431     142
clock-getres-monotonic-raw:     n/t     35
clock-gettime-tai:              598     150
clock-getres-tai:               n/t     34
clock-gettime-boottime:         592     142
clock-getres-boottime:          n/t     34
clock-gettime-realtime:         149     142
clock-getres-realtime:          n/t     34
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  86      96
clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   n/t     36
getcpu:                         n/t     n/t
gettimeofday:                   133     110

So there are some minor improvements, two minor regressions, some
significant improvements (factor 3-4), and some dramatic improvements
(where we actually gained VDSO support).
Overall a pretty impressive outcome for an "Odd fixes" architecture,
especially as it should reduce the future maintenance burden.

Cheers,
Andre.

I tested your changes and they seem OK
(git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers/vdso).

It has been a lot of fun and I learned many many things about the vDSOs and the
kernel that I did not know before. Thanks to you for your patience and guidance.

I talked to Russell King and he suggested to file the ARM parts into his
patch system and he'll pick them up after 5.3-rc1.

I paged out how to deal with it, but you'll surely manage :)

Easy way: ask git to add the "KernelVersion" tag as a header to the
email using --add-header to e.g. git format-patch, and just mail them
to patches@armlinux.org.uk

Although I haven't send patches to Russell in a while, I still have a
git alias in my .gitconfig (only works with one patch at a time IIRC,
sending multiple patches may arrive in a different order):

[alias]
	send-rmk-email = !git send-email --add-header=\"KernelVersion: $(git describe --abbrev=0)\" --no-thread --suppress-cc=all --to="patches@arm.linux.org.uk"

Thanks to all for the hints and the support. I will send the patches to Russel
as agreed.

Apologies for not being more proactive on the MIPS front here; life &
work are extra busy at the moment... But thanks Vincenzo for including
MIPS in the work here.

Unfortunately after applying the 3 MIPS patches (19-21) atop the current
tip.git timers/vdso branch at ecf9db3d1f1a ("x86/vdso: Give the
[ph]vclock_page declarations real types") I see build failures for the
o32 compat VDSO, shown below. This is using the gcc 8.1.0 mips-linux
toolchain from here:

  https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/tools/crosstool/files/bin/x86_64/8.1.0/x86_64-gcc-8.1.0-nolibc-mips-linux.tar.xz

Configuration is 64r6el_defconfig. The following helps remove the
implicit declaration warnings (and eww to including C files via CFLAGS),
but it still doesn't build:

  diff --git a/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile b/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile
  index 95df49402a53..aa38049bdb24 100644
  --- a/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile
  +++ b/arch/mips/vdso/Makefile
  @@ -36,6 +36,8 @@ aflags-vdso := $(ccflags-vdso) \
  
   ifneq ($(c-gettimeofday-y),)
   CFLAGS_vgettimeofday.o = -include $(c-gettimeofday-y)
  +CFLAGS_vgettimeofday-o32.o = -include $(c-gettimeofday-y)
  +CFLAGS_vgettimeofday-n32.o = -include $(c-gettimeofday-y)
   endif

 CFLAGS_REMOVE_vgettimeofday.o = -pg

So the MIPS bits here need more work.

Thanks,
    Paul

No problem.

I admit, the one proposed was a nice challenge and it took me a while to
understand the differences in between the O32, N32 and N64 binaries and what was
causing the reported issue.

In the end I concluded that all the errors seen here depend on the fact that I
tested my vdso implementation on MIPS32el only (as stated in the cover letter)
and that when I tried to compile a 32BIT binary on a 64BIT configuration I did
it wrongly for two reasons, for N32 and O32 binaries:
 - we need to undefine CONFIG_64BIT and define CONFIG_32BIT
 - we need to define CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64


I have a fix for this (patch in attachment), but I do not have the hardware to
test it. If you could provide some feedback would be appreciated (really want to
see MIPS merged with the other archs in 5.3 :) ).

Thanks for the quick turnaround on your patch!

I'm certainly willing to test it, but in a few hours I'll be spending
the bulk of a day on airplanes[1] so it might take a few days until I
get to it.

Thanks,
    Paul

    son around :)

Sounds like a plan. Let us know when you have an update.

Doesn't seem to work: no header was added, and my patch was rejected.
There does seem to be a "--add-header" option for git-format-patch, but
it adds the header at the top, just below the "Subject:"-header, instead
of below the "---", so that needs manual editing, too.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
