To properly handle errors returned by gettimeofday(), the DO_VDSO_CALL() macro has to be used, otherwise vdsotest misinterpret VDSO function return on error.
This has gone unnoticed until now because the powerpc VDSO gettimeofday() always succeed, but while porting powerpc to generic C VDSO, the following has been encountered: gettimeofday(valid, UINTPTR_MAX) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(valid, UINTPTR_MAX) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 gettimeofday(valid, page (PROT_NONE)) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(valid, page (PROT_NONE)) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 gettimeofday(valid, page (PROT_READ)) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(valid, page (PROT_READ)) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, valid) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, valid) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, NULL) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, NULL) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, UINTPTR_MAX) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, UINTPTR_MAX) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, page (PROT_NONE)) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, page (PROT_NONE)) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, page (PROT_READ)) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(UINTPTR_MAX, page (PROT_READ)) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 gettimeofday(page (PROT_NONE), valid) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(page (PROT_NONE), valid) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 gettimeofday(page (PROT_NONE), NULL) (VDSO): unexpected return value 14, expected -1 gettimeofday(page (PROT_NONE), NULL) (VDSO): exited with status 1, expected 0 Failure threshold (10) reached;
