The current version of the multiarch vDSO selftest verifies only
gettimeofday.

Extend the vDSO selftest to clock_getres, to verify that the
syscall and the vDSO library function return the same information.

The extension has been used to verify the hrtimer_resoltion fix.
This is passing for me even without patch 1 applied, shouldn't it fail
without the fix? What am I missing?
This is correct, because during the refactoring process I missed an "n" :)

if·((x.tv_sec·!=·y.tv_sec)·||·(x.tv_sec·!=·y.tv_sec))

Should be:

if·((x.tv_sec·!=·y.tv_sec)·||·(x.tv_nsec·!=·y.tv_nsec))

My mistake, I am going to fix the test and re-post v5 of this set.

Without my patch if you pass "highres=off" to the kernel (as a command line
parameter) it leads to a broken implementation of clock_getres since the value
of CLOCK_REALTIME_RES does not change at runtime.

Expected result (with highres=off):

# uname -r
5.2.0-rc2
# ./vdso_clock_getres
clock_id: CLOCK_REALTIME [FAIL]
clock_id: CLOCK_BOOTTIME [PASS]
clock_id: CLOCK_TAI [PASS]
clock_id: CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE [PASS]
clock_id: CLOCK_MONOTONIC [FAIL]
clock_id: CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW [PASS]
clock_id: CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE [PASS]

The reason of this behavior is that the only clocks supported by getres on
powerpc are CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC, the rest on the clocks use
always syscalls.
vdso64 is supposed to implement CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE, so I
guess it should fail for them too ?

Or is your test done on vdso32 ?
Based on what I can see in kernel/vdso64 in 5.2-rc3:

/*
  * Exact prototype of clock_getres()
  *
  * int __kernel_clock_getres(clockid_t clock_id, struct timespec *res);
  *
  */
V_FUNCTION_BEGIN(__kernel_clock_getres)
   .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

	li	r3,0
	cmpldi	cr0,r4,0
	crclr	cr0*4+so
	beqlr
	lis	r5,CLOCK_REALTIME_RES@h
	ori	r5,r5,CLOCK_REALTIME_RES@l
	std	r3,TSPC64_TV_SEC(r4)
	std	r5,TSPC64_TV_NSEC(r4)
	blr

	/*
	 * syscall fallback
	 */
99:
	li	r0,__NR_clock_getres
	sc
	blr
   .cfi_endproc
V_FUNCTION_END(__kernel_clock_getres)

it does not seem so for what concerns vdso64. I did run again the test both on
ppc and ppc64 qemu instances and the result is the same to what I reported in
this thread.

Am I missing something?
I was thinking about 
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=5c929885f1bb 
but apparently clock_getres() was left aside. Should we do something 
about it ?
Sure, but I would like this series to be merged first (since the topic is
different). I am happy, after that, to push a separate one on top that addresses
the problem.

Please let me know if it works for you and Michael.
