When running in a non-root time namespace, the global VDSO data page is replaced by a dedicated namespace data page and the global data page is mapped next to it. Detailed explanations can be found at commit660fd04f93("lib/vdso: Prepare for time namespace support"). When it happens, __kernel_get_syscall_map and __kernel_get_tbfreq and __kernel_sync_dicache don't work anymore because they read 0 instead of the data they need. To address that, clock_mode has to be read. When it is set to VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS, it means it is a dedicated namespace data page and the global data is located on the following page. Add a macro called get_realdatapage which reads clock_mode and add PAGE_SIZE to the pointer provided by get_datapage macro when clock_mode is equal to VDSO_CLOCKMODE_TIMENS. Use this new macro instead of get_datapage macro except for time functions as they handle it internally. Fixes:74205b3fc2("powerpc/vdso: Add support for time namespaces") Reported-by: Jason A.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
