Subject: [PATCH 0/3] nsproxy: support CLONE_NEWTIME with setns()

Hey,

So far setns() was missing time namespace support. This was partially
due to it simply not being implemented but also because
vdso_join_timens() could still fail which made switching to multiple
namespaces atomically problematic. This series first fixes
vdso_join_timens() to never fail, introduces timens_commit() and finally
adds CLONE_NEWTIME support for setns().

Please note, that arm is currently in the process of adding
vdso_join_timens() support (cf. [1]) so it might make sense to split the
vdso_join_timens() change out and route it to mainline as a fix so both
my series and the arm support can be rebased on top of it. I've Cced the
relevant people and I'm also replying to the arm thread now.

Thanks!
Christian
