Matt attempted to add CLOCK_TAI support to the VDSO clock_gettime() implementation, which extended the clockid switch case and added yet another slightly different copy of the same code. Especially the extended switch case is problematic as the compiler tends to generate a jump table which then requires to use retpolines. If jump tables are disabled it adds yet another conditional to the existing

...e rdtsc load gtod->cycle_last Which obviously allows us to observe a cycles_last that is later than the rdtsc itself, and thus time can trivially go backwards. The new code: last = gtod->cycle_last; cycles = vgetcyc(gtod->vclock_mode); if (unlikely((s64)cycles < 0)) return vdso_fallback_gettime(clk, ts); if (cycles > last) ns += (cycles - last) * gtod->mult; looks like: load gtod->cycle_last lfence rdtsc which avoids that possibility, the cycle_last load must have completed before the rdtsc.

Hi, Hyper-V TSC page clocksource is suitable for vDSO, however, the protocol defined by the hypervisor is different from VCLOCK_PVCLOCK. Implemented the required support. Simple sysbench test shows the following results: Before: # time sysbench --test=memory --max-requests=500000 run ... real 1m22.618s user 0m50.193s sys 0m32.268s After: # time sysbench --test=memory

Hi, merge window is about to close so I hope it's OK to make another try here. Changes since v2: - Add explicit READ_ONCE() to not rely on 'volatile' [Andy Lutomirski] - rdtsc() -> rdtsc_ordered() [Andy Lutomirski] - virt_rmb() -> smp_rmb() [Thomas Gleixner, Andy Lutomirski] Thomas, Andy, it seems the only blocker for the series was the ambiguity with TSC page read algorithm.

Hi, while we're still waiting for a definitive ACK from Microsoft that the algorithm is good for SMP case (as we can't prevent the code in vdso from migrating between CPUs) I'd like to send v2 with some modifications to keep the discussion going. Changes since v1: - Document the TSC page reading protocol [Thomas Gleixner]. - Separate the TSC page reading code from
