This patch adds gettimeofday_fallback() function that wraps assembly
invocation of gettimeofday() syscall using __NR_gettimeofday.
This function is used if pure VDSO implementation gettimeofday()
does not succeed for any reason. Its imeplementation is enclosed in
"#ifdef CONFIG_MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL" to be in sync with the similar
arrangement for __vdso_gettimeofday().
If syscall invocation via __NR_gettimeofday fails, register a3 will
be set. So, after the syscall, register a3 is tested and the return
valuem is negated if it's set.

This patch adds clock_gettime_fallback() function that wraps assembly
invocation of clock_gettime() syscall using __NR_clock_gettime.
This function is used if pure VDSO implementation of clock_gettime()
does not succeed for any reason. For example, it is called if the
clkid parameter of clock_gettime() is not one of the clkids listed
in the switch-case block of the function __vdso_clock_gettime()
(one such case for clkid is CLOCK_BOOTIME).
If syscall invocation via __NR_clock_gettime fails, register a3 will
be set. So, after the syscall, register a3 is tested and the return
value is negated if it's set.

Fix incorrect calculation in do_monotonic() and do_monotonic_coarse()
function that in turn caused incorrect values returned by the vdso
version of system call clock_gettime() on mips64 if its system clock
ID parameter was CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE.
Consider these variables and their types on mips32 and mips64:
tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec s64, s64 (kernel/vdso.c)
vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec u32, u32 (kernel/vdso.c)
to_mono_sec u32, u32 (vdso/gettimeofday.c)
ts->tv_sec s32, s64 (vdso/gettimeofday.c)
For mips64 case, u32 vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec variable is updated
from the 64-bit signed variable tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec
(kernel/vdso.c:76) which is a negative number holding the time passed
from 1970-01-01 to the time boot started. This 64-bit signed value is
currently around 47+ years, in seconds. For instance, let this value
be:
-1489757461
or
11111111111111111111111111111111 10100111001101000001101011101011
By updating 32-bit vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec variable, we lose upper
32 bits (signed 1's).
to_mono_sec variable is a parameter of do_monotonic() and
do_monotonic_coarse() functions which holds vdso_data.wall_to_mono_sec
value. Its value needs to be added (or subtracted considering it holds
negative value from the tk->wall_to_monotonic.tv_sec) to the current
time passed from 1970-01-01 (ts->tv_sec), which is again something like
47+ years, but increased by the time passed from the boot to the
current time. ts->tv_sec is 32-bit long in case of 32-bit architecture
and 64-bit long in case of 64-bit architecture. Consider the update of
ts->tv_sec (vdso/gettimeofday.c:55 & 167):
ts->tv_sec += to_mono_sec;
mips32 case: This update will be performed correctly, since both
ts->tv_sec and to_mono_sec are 32-bit long and the sign in to_mono_sec
is preserved. Implicit conversion from u32 to s32 will be done
correctly.
mips64 case: This update will be wrong, since the implicit conversion
will not be done correctly. The reason is that the conversion will be
from u32 to s64. This is because to_mono_sec is 32-bit long for both
mips32 and mips64 cases and s64..33 bits of converted to_mono_sec
variable will be zeros.
So, in order to make MIPS64 implementation work properly for
MONOTONIC and MONOTONIC_COARSE clock ids on mips64, the size of
wall_to_mono_sec variable in mips_vdso_data union and respective
parameters in do_monotonic() and do_monotonic_coarse() functions
should be changed from u32 to u64. Because of consistency, this
size change from u32 and u64 is also done for wall_to_mono_nsec
variable and corresponding function parameters.
As far as similar situations for other architectures are concerned,
let's take a look at arm. Arm has two distinct vdso_data structures
for 32-bit & 64-bit cases, and arm's wall_to_mono_sec and
wall_to_mono_nsec are u32 for 32-bit and u64 for 64-bit cases.
On the other hand, MIPS has only one structure (mips_vdso_data),
hence the need for changing the size of above mentioned parameters.

Add user-mode implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() to
the VDSO. This is currently usable with 2 clocksources: the CP0 count
register, which is accessible to user-mode via RDHWR on R2 and later
cores, or the MIPS Global Interrupt Controller (GIC) timer, which
provides a "user-mode visible" section containing a mirror of its
counter registers. This section must be mapped into user memory, which
is done below the VDSO data page.
When a supported clocksource is not in use, the VDSO functions will
return -ENOSYS, which causes libc to fall back on the standard syscall
path.
When support for neither of these clocksources is compiled into the
kernel at all, the VDSO still provides clock_gettime(), as the coarse
realtime/monotonic clocks can still be implemented. However,
gettimeofday() is not provided in this case as nothing can be done
without a suitable clocksource. This causes the symbol lookup to fail
in libc and it will then always use the standard syscall path.
This patch includes a workaround for a bug in QEMU which results in
RDHWR on the CP0 count register always returning a constant (incorrect)
value. A fix for this has been submitted, and the workaround can be
removed after the fix has been in stable releases for a reasonable
amount of time.
A simple performance test which calls gettimeofday() 1000 times in a
loop and calculates the average execution time gives the following
results on a Malta + I6400 (running at 20MHz):
- Syscall: ~31000 ns
- VDSO (GIC): ~15000 ns
- VDSO (CP0): ~9500 ns
[markos.chandras@imgtec.com:
- Minor code re-arrangements in order for mappings to be made
in the order they appear to the process' address space.
- Move do_{monotonic, realtime} outside of the MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL ifdef
- Use gic_get_usm_range so we can do the GIC mapping in the
arch/mips/kernel/vdso instead of the GIC irqchip driver]
