[PATCH v2 0/8] selftests: vDSO: Stop using libc types for vDSO calls

Posted by Thomas Weißschuh 3 weeks, 2 days ago

Currently the vDSO selftests use the time-related types from libc.
This works on glibc by chance today but will break with other libc
implementations or on distributions which switch to 64-bit times
everywhere.

The kernel's UAPI headers provide the proper types to use with the vDSO
(and raw syscalls) but are not necessarily compatible with libc types.
Introduce a new header which makes the UAPI headers compatible with the
libc.

Also contains some related cleanups.
