IE. the pointer used to access tb_orig_stamp etc... depends on the initial update count, and the final read of the update count depends on all the previously read values (or should), thus ordering those loads. Withtout that you'll need more expensive lwsync's. Additionally, you broke another semantic of the seqlock which is to spin on the first update count if it has an odd value. The same problem exist in all your other implementations. I am really NOT a fan of that attempt at converting to C. The code is hand crafted assembly for a number of reasons, including the above ones and maximum performance. As it is, it's deeply broken. > + > + tp->tv_nsec = ((u64)mulhwu(tb, NSEC_PER_SEC) << 32) >> 32; > + tp->tv_sec += (tb >> 32); > +} > + > +static notrace int clock_get_realtime(struct timespec *tp, > + struct vdso_data *vdata) > +{ > + kernel_get_tspec(tp, vdata, NULL, NULL); > + > + return 0; > +} > + > +static notrace int clock_get_monotonic(struct timespec *tp, > + struct vdso_data *vdata) > +{ > + __s32 wtom_sec, wtom_nsec; > + u64 nsec; > + > + kernel_get_tspec(tp, vdata, &wtom_sec, &wtom_nsec); > + > + tp->tv_sec += wtom_sec; > + > + nsec = tp->tv_nsec; > + tp->tv_nsec = 0; > + timespec_add_ns(tp, nsec + wtom_nsec); > + > + return 0; > +} > + > +static notrace int clock_realtime_coarse(struct timespec *tp, > + struct vdso_data *vdata) > +{ > + u32 update_count; > + > + do { > + /* check for update count & load values */ > + update_count = vdata->tb_update_count; > + > + tp->tv_sec = vdata->stamp_xtime.tv_sec; > + tp->tv_nsec = vdata->stamp_xtime.tv_nsec; > + } while (update_count != vdata->tb_update_count); > + > + return 0; > +} > + > +static notrace int clock_monotonic_coarse(struct timespec *tp, > + struct vdso_data *vdata) > +{ > + __s32 wtom_sec, wtom_nsec; > + u64 nsec; > + u32 update_count; > + > + do { > + /* check for update count & load values */ > + update_count = vdata->tb_update_count; > + > + tp->tv_sec = vdata->stamp_xtime.tv_sec; > + tp->tv_nsec = vdata->stamp_xtime.tv_nsec; > + wtom_sec = vdata->wtom_clock_sec; > + wtom_nsec = vdata->wtom_clock_nsec; > + } while (update_count != vdata->tb_update_count); > + > + tp->tv_sec += wtom_sec; > + nsec = tp->tv_nsec; > + tp->tv_nsec = 0; > + timespec_add_ns(tp, nsec + wtom_nsec); > + > + return 0; > +} > + > +notrace int kernel_clock_gettime(clockid_t clk_id, struct timespec *tp) > +{ > + int ret; > + struct vdso_data *vdata = __get_datapage(); > + > + if (!tp || !vdata) > + return -EBADR; > + > + switch (clk_id) { > + case CLOCK_REALTIME: > + ret = clock_get_realtime(tp, vdata); > + break; > + case CLOCK_MONOTONIC: > + ret = clock_get_monotonic(tp, vdata); > + break; > + case CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE: > + ret = clock_realtime_coarse(tp, vdata); > + break; > + case CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE: > + ret = clock_monotonic_coarse(tp, vdata); > + break; > + default: > + /* fallback to syscall */ > + ret = -1; > + break; > + } > + > + return ret; > +} > diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/gettimeofday.S > b/arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/gettimeofday.S > index 3820213..c3f6b24 100644 > --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/gettimeofday.S > +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso64/gettimeofday.S > @@ -16,6 +16,8 @@ > #include <asm/asm-offsets.h> > #include <asm/unistd.h> > > +.global kernel_clock_gettime > + > .text > /* > * Exact prototype of gettimeofday > @@ -60,71 +62,23 @@ V_FUNCTION_END(__kernel_gettimeofday) > */ > V_FUNCTION_BEGIN(__kernel_clock_gettime) > .cfi_startproc > - /* Check for supported clock IDs */ > - cmpwi cr0,r3,CLOCK_REALTIME > - cmpwi cr1,r3,CLOCK_MONOTONIC > - cror cr0*4+eq,cr0*4+eq,cr1*4+eq > - bne cr0,99f > - > - mflr r12 /* r12 saves lr */ > - .cfi_register lr,r12 > - mr r11,r4 /* r11 saves tp */ > - bl V_LOCAL_FUNC(__get_datapage) /* get data page */ > - lis r7,NSEC_PER_SEC@h /* want nanoseconds */ > - ori r7,r7,NSEC_PER_SEC@l > -50: bl V_LOCAL_FUNC(__do_get_tspec) /* get time from tb & kernel */ > - bne cr1,80f /* if not monotonic, all done */ > - > - /* > - * CLOCK_MONOTONIC > - */ > - > - /* now we must fixup using wall to monotonic.
