3.16.54-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nathan Lynch <nathan_lynch@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e1b6b6ce55a0a25c8aa8af019095253b2133a41a upstream. The vdso implementation of clock_getres currently returns 0 (success) whenever a null timespec is provided by the caller, regardless of the clock id supplied. This behavior is incorrect. It should fall back to syscall when an unrecognized clock id is passed, even when the timespec argument is null. This ensures that clock_getres always returns an error for invalid clock ids.
