2014-10-25vdso: don't require 64-bit math in standalone testJeff Mahoney1-1/+1
The use of 64-bit math on i386 causes build failures: vdso_standalone_test_x86.c:(.text+0x101): undefined reference to `__umoddi3' vdso_standalone_test_x86.c:(.text+0x12d): undefined reference to `__udivdi3' Commit adb19fb66ee (Documentation: add makefiles for more targets) is now building this by default, so it's failing the kernel build entirely. Switching the declaration from uint64_t to time_t does the right thing and handles the x32 case automatically.

2014-10-21Documentation: fix vdso_standalone_test_x86 on 32-bitPeter Foley1-0/+3
vdso_standalone_test_x86 needs -lgcc_s to build succesfully on 32bit. Signed-off-by: Peter Foley <pefoley2@pefoley.com> [ Fixed missing separator issue reported by Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> ] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2014-09-26Documentation: disable vdso_test to avoid breakage with old glibcPeter Foley1-2/+2
glibc versions older than 2.16 don't include sys/auxv.h which this executable uses. Since we don't have a good way to test for specific glibc versions in kbuild, just disable it for now.

2014-06-12x86/vdso/doc: Make vDSO examples more portableAndy Lutomirski3-41/+123
This adds a new vdso_test.c that's written entirely in C. It also makes all of the vDSO examples work on 32-bit x86.

2014-06-12x86/vdso/doc: Rename vdso_test.c to vdso_standalone_test_x86.cAndy Lutomirski1-1/+1
This thing is hopelessly x86_64-specific: it's an example of how to access the vDSO without any runtime support at all.

2011-07-14Document the vDSO and add a reference parserAndy Lutomirski2-0/+367
It turns out that parsing the vDSO is nontrivial if you don't already have an ELF dynamic loader around. So document it in Documentation/ABI and add a reference CC0-licenced parser.
