2013-01-10arm64: vdso: remove broken, redundant sequence counting for timezonesWill Deacon
This patch is an arm64 version of ce73ec6db47a ("powerpc/vdso: Remove redundant locking in update_vsyscall_tz()"). Timezone data is not protected, so the sequence counter is not required to ensure consistency. Furthermore, having multiple paths updating the counter leads to a race between update_vsyscall and update_vsyscall_tz, so remove the timezone sequence counting from both the kernel and the vdso.

2012-12-05arm64: vdso: defer shifting of nanosecond component of timespecWill Deacon
Shifting the nanosecond component of the computed timespec early can lead to sub-ns inaccuracies when using the truncated value as input to further arithmetic for things like conversions to monotonic time. This patch defers the timespec shifting until after the final value has been computed.

2012-10-18arm64: Fix the update_vsyscall() prototypeCatalin Marinas
With commit 576094b7 (time: Introduce new GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL) the old update_vsyscall() prototype is no longer available. This patch updates the arm64 port.

2012-09-17arm64: VDSO supportWill Deacon
This patch adds VDSO support for 64-bit applications. The VDSO code is currently used for sys_rt_sigreturn() and optimised gettimeofday() (using the user-accessible generic counter).
