Merge tag 'timers-vdso-2026-02-09' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull VDSO updates from Thomas Gleixner:
- Provide the missing 64-bit variant of clock_getres()
This allows the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and
finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI.
- Remove the useless and broken getcpu_cache from the VDSO
The intention was to provide a trivial way to retrieve the CPU number
from the VDSO, but as the VDSO data is per process there is no way to
make it work.
- Switch get/put_unaligned() from packed struct to memcpy()
The packed struct violates strict aliasing rules which requires to
pass -fno-strict-aliasing to the compiler. As this are scalar values
__builtin_memcpy() turns them into simple loads and stores
- Use __typeof_unqual__() for __unqual_scalar_typeof()
The get/put_unaligned() changes triggered a new sparse warning when
__beNN types are used with get/put_unaligned() as sparse builds add a
special 'bitwise' attribute to them which prevents sparse to evaluate
the Generic in __unqual_scalar_typeof().
Newer sparse versions support __typeof_unqual__() which avoids the
problem, but requires a recent sparse install. So this adds a sanity
check to sparse builds, which validates that sparse is available and
capable of handling it.
- Force inline __cvdso_clock_getres_common()
Compilers sometimes un-inline agressively, which results in function
call overhead and problems with automatic stack variable
initialization.
Interestingly enough the force inlining results in smaller code than
the un-inlined variant produced by GCC when optimizing for size.
