  Here is an updated version of the gettimeofday vdso patch.  I tried to
address as many of the questions as I could.  I added two tests,
tst-gettimeofday and tst-gettimeofday2.  tst-gettimeofday2 just 
includes tst-gettimeofday but is tested with 'LD_BIND_NOW=1'.

I think defining __gettimeofday to be __redirect___gettimeofday and
including sys/time.h is the best way to handle things.  Even
if we did a explicit definition of __redirect__gettimeofday we
would need to include sys/time.h to get the timeval and timezone
structures and if we didn't redefine __gettimeofday when doing
that the definition of __gettimeofday in the header file would
conflict with the one defined by libc_ifunc_hidden.  This is how
x86 and powerpc handle it in their gettimeofday functions and also
how aarch64 handles the definition/redefinition of memcpy in
sysdeps/aarch64/multiarch/memcpy.c.

I am not sure how to handle the static linked binary issue you raised,
I have been copying what x86/powerpc did and if they or some other
platform has solved this then I would be interested in how to
do it.  Since PR 19767 is still open I assume it hasn't been fixed
anywhere yet and I would rather not try to deal with it in this
patch.

I changed __gettimeofday_syscall to __gettimeofday_vsyscall and
I got rid of the redefinition of libc_hidden_def by just calling
__hidden_ver1 directly (in the shared case).

There do seem to be places where libc calls gettimeofday (nis/nis_call.c,
login/logwtmp.c, resolv/gai_suspend.c, others).  Most of them call
__gettimeofday but some just call gettimeofday.  I am not sure what
if anything needs to be done with these calls, they don't seem to
have changed when x86 or powerpc made their gettimeofday/vdso changes..

This is what I would use for a commit message:


aarch64: Use an ifunc/VDSO to implement gettimeofday in shared glibc.

This patch uses an ifunc to implement gettimeofday in the shared libc.
If the kernel supports the VDSO interface we use it, otherwise we use
the old method of a vsyscall.  The static version of gettimeofday 
continues to use a syscall.

What i wanted to know/document is that internal libc.so
calls don't go via the ifunc resolver, but call the
vsyscall and this is the only reason why it should remain
a vsyscall instead of a syscall as far as i can see
(otherwise if ifunc already checked the vdso then there
would be no point doing that in vsyscall too)

The other thing that would be nice to document is that
why this change is safe for gettimeofday but not clock_gettime.
(former does not have to set errno other than EFAULT but that
case never works with vdso anyway, so the gettimeofday vdso
function is a complete implementation, while clock_gettime
has to deal with errno after the vdso call)

please add here something like

"This is faster compared to the vsyscall mechanism that has to
check a global pointer, demangle it and call it indirectly when
the VDSO is present. Resolving the gettimeofday symbol directly
to the VDSO code is safe because there are no failures that the
libc has to handle by setting errno like in a generic vsyscall."

this seems to be from the nanosleep test,
i think that can be reused instead of copied, just
add a comment that it is used for gettimeofday testing
too and in the testcase that is run with BIND_NOW
add a comment that gettimeofday may be ifunc resolved
on targets with VDSO.

(a better test is probably checking if &gettimeofday
is indeed in vdso and not in libc.so, although that is
tricky: it may point to the plt in the main executable,
so the test has to be a shared lib, then bindnow is not
needed, but the test would be target specific)

As I put previously keep in mind that different that x86 and powerpc 
implementations, where the vDSO symbol does not fail; the arm64 vDSO 
implements a syscall fallback in case of underlying hardware requires 
an out-of-line counter access (arch_timer_enable_workaround).

Using a ifunc accessors to call vDSO directly will result in a slight
different semantic since generic implementation (kernel/time/time.c)
might return EFAULT in some cases (which won't be handled by ifunc
implementation).  This should not be an issue since POSIX [1] defines
no error code should reserved for the symbol, but it might trigger
some test in LTP.

sorry i missed this comment,

if the vdso can fail with -EFAULT then this optimization is not valid
(gettimeofday must either return 0 or -1).

if userspace can test whatever the kernel is testing there, that
could be added to the ifunc resolver and only use vdso if we know
it does not fail (i don't know if this is possible).

hm in posix EFAULT is not a requirement, it's probably
undefined behaviour if gettimeofday is called with
wrong pointers. (this is borderline since linux man
pages document the EFAULT, but obviously that cannot
work for vdso anyway)

then the optimization is ok, but we definitely need
to document why we think directly going to the vdso
is safe.

I think the optimization is fine as well, we had previous discussion about some
syscall semantics returning EFAULT [1] (which also lead to LTP test fixes [2]),
and the generic idea was since is UB to rely on EFAULT return code (for instance
a call to 'gettimeofday (0, 0)') it is fine to glibc also change semantic if it
finds suitable.

Szabolcs,

I am having trouble figuring out how to document these issues.  The
problem is that I don't understand the details of the
syscall/vsyscall/vdso interfaces well enough to add intelligent
comments to the code that would address your comments.

Any chance you could add the comments that you think are needed and
check the patch in?  It seems like you and Adhemerval are both happy
with the code, it is just the comments (and the test if you want to use
the nanosleep test instead of adding the new ones) that need fixing.
