...he vdso as assembler code at the moment, so they won't be as easy to consolidate (other than outright replacing all the code). The other five: arch/x86/entry/vdso/vclock_gettime.c arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c arch/nds32/kernel/vdso/gettimeofday.c arch/mips/vdso/gettimeofday.c arch/arm/vdso/vgettimeofday.c are basically all minor variations of the same code base and could be consolidated to some degree. Any suggestions here? Should we plan to do that consolitdation based on your new version, or just add clock_gettime64 in arm32 and x86-32, and then be done with it? The other ones will obviously st...

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
