I'm sure it's completely obvious to everyone except me what needs to be done, but can you spell it out for me? Keeping in mind that I don't know anything about the time keeping code. > However, PPC and IA64 have yet to make the transition, despite > in some cases me sending test patches to try to help it along. > > http://patches.linaro.org/patch/30501/ > http://patches.linaro.org/patch/35412/ I've never seen a PPC patch, did you send one? > If its helpful, my last pass at the patches can be found here: > https://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/linux.git dev/oldvsyscall-cleanup Looks like it's just a draft for PPC. Do you think that should work and it just needs testing? The comment about the vdso being "slightly behind" is a little concerning. cheers
