powerpc/vdso64: Use double word compare on pointers
__kernel_get_syscall_map() and __kernel_clock_getres() use cmpli to check if the passed in pointer is non zero. cmpli maps to a 32 bit compare on binutils, so we ignore the top 32 bits. A simple test case can be created by passing in a bogus pointer with the bottom 32 bits clear. Using a clk_id that is handled by the VDSO, then one that is handled by the kernel shows the problem: printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_REALTIME, (void *)0x100000000)); printf("%d\n", clock_getres(CLOCK_BOOTTIME, (void *)0x100000000)); And we get: 0 -1 The bigger issue is if we pass a valid pointer with the bottom 32 bits clear, in this case we will return success but won't write any data to the pointer. I stumbled across this issue because the LLVM integrated assembler doesn't accept cmpli with 3 arguments. Fix this by converting them to cmpldi.
