Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

Convert s390 to generic vDSO. There are a few special things on s390: - vDSO can be called without a stack frame - glibc did this in the past. So we need to allocate a stackframe on our own. - The former assembly code used stcke to get the TOD clock and applied time steering to it. We need to do the same in the new code. This is done in the architecture specific __arch_get_hw_counter function. The steering information is stored in an architecure specific area in the vDSO data. - CPUCLOCK_VIRT is now handled with a syscall fallback, which might be slower/less accurate than the old implementation. The getcpu() function stays as an assembly function because there is no generic implementation and the code is just a few lines. Performance number from my system do 100 mio gettimeofday() calls: Plain syscall: 8.6s Generic VDSO: 1.3s old ASM VDSO: 1s So it's a bit slower but still much faster than syscalls.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
