This was expressed in a harddependency on the generic vDSO library. This also meant that architectureswithout any vDSO or only a stub vDSO could not enable time namespaces.Now that all architectures using a real vDSO are using the generic library,that dependency is not necessary anymore.Remove the dependency and let all architectures enable time namespaces.Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@kernel.org>Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260326-vdso-timens-decoupling-v2-2-c82693a7775f@linutronix.de List of files: /linux/kernel/time/namespace_vdso.c Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:42:31 +0100 Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de> http://kernelsources.org:8080/source/history/linux/kernel/time/namespace_vdso.c#5dc9cf835aba73c882348aa4f99be83b6e45ad9b vdso/timens: Move functions to new fileAs a preparation of the untangling of time namespaces and the vDSO, movethe glue functions between those subsystems into a new file.While at it, switch the mutex lock and mmap_read_lock() in the vDSOnamespace code to guard().Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@kernel.org>Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260326-vdso-timens-decoupling-v2-1-c82693a7775f@linutronix.de List of files: /linux/kernel/time/namespace_vdso.c Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:42:30 +0100 Thomas Weißschuh <thomas.weissschuh@linutronix.de>
