[PATCH 1/2] vdso.7: Remove outdated limitation for powerpc

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

[
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/vdso.7.html
(as of today, flagged 2021-03-22)

ppc/32 and ppc/64 sections both have the following note:

       The CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE clocks
       are not supported by the __kernel_clock_getres and
       __kernel_clock_gettime interfaces; the kernel falls back to
       the real system call

This note has been wrong from quite some time now,
since commit 654abc69ef2e
("powerpc/vdso32: Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE")
and commit 5c929885f1bb
("powerpc/vdso64: Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE")
]
