Duplication of vdso and vsyscall code?
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Fri Oct 09 2009 - 17:17:31 EST
arch/x86/kernel/vsyscall_64.c implements vgettimeofday and vgetcpu.
(And vtime)
arch/x86/vdso/vclock_gettime.c implements __vdso_gettimeofday (and
__vdso_clock_gettime), and vgetcpu.c has __vdso_getcpu.
These appear to be functionally identical duplicate definitions. I
don't understand the history here to know how we came to get two sets of
these functions, but surely we can share the same code for both of these?
Thanks,
J
