[PATCH] LoongArch: Add support to clone a time namespace

From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Tue May 16 2023 - 23:04:23 EST


When execute the following command to test clone3 on LoongArch:

# cd tools/testing/selftests/clone3 && make && ./clone3

we can see the following error info:

# [5719] Trying clone3() with flags 0x80 (size 0)
# Invalid argument - Failed to create new process
# [5719] clone3() with flags says: -22 expected 0
not ok 18 [5719] Result (-22) is different than expected (0)

This is because if CONFIG_TIME_NS is not set, but the flag
CLONE_NEWTIME (0x80) is used to clone a time namespace, it
will return -EINVAL in copy_time_ns().

Here is the related code in include/linux/time_namespace.h:

#ifdef CONFIG_TIME_NS
...
struct time_namespace *copy_time_ns(unsigned long flags,
struct user_namespace *user_ns,
struct time_namespace *old_ns);
...
#else
...
static inline
struct time_namespace *copy_time_ns(unsigned long flags,
struct user_namespace *user_ns,
struct time_namespace *old_ns)
{
if (flags & CLONE_NEWTIME)
return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

return old_ns;
}
...
#endif

Here is the complete call stack:

clone3()
kernel_clone()
copy_process()
copy_namespaces()
create_new_namespaces()
copy_time_ns()
clone_time_ns()

Because CONFIG_TIME_NS depends on GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS, select
GENERIC_VDSO_TIME_NS to enable CONFIG_TIME_NS to build the real
implementation of copy_time_ns() in kernel/time/namespace.c.

Additionally, it needs to define some arch dependent functions
such as __arch_get_timens_vdso_data(), arch_get_vdso_data() and
vdso_join_timens(), then the failed test can be fixed.
