The patch titled
Fix discrepancy between VDSO based gettimeofday() and sys_gettimeofday().
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fix-discrepancy-between-vdso-based-gettimeofday-and-sys_gettimeofday.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Fix discrepancy between VDSO based gettimeofday() and
sys_gettimeofday().
From: Tony Breeds <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
On platforms that copy sys_tz into the vdso (currently only x86_64, soon to
include powerpc), it is possible for the vdso to get out of sync if a user
calls (admittedly unusual) settimeofday(NULL, ptr).
This patch adds a hook for architectures that set
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL to ensure when sys_tz is updated they can also
updatee their copy in the vdso.
