Dear Arnd Bergmann:

We find a small bug here which make LTP 20170929 clock_getres01
fail. The bug is in __vdso_clock_getres() function. When argument res
is NULL, -EFAULT error code is returned now. But, the returned
value is 0 for SyS_clock_getres under the same conditions.
Therefore, testcase thinks it is a bug.

I will modify the code as below and add it in the next version patch
if you think it is OK.

@@ -209,7 +209,7 @@ static notrace int clock_getres_fallback( ...
 {
         if (res == NULL)
-                return -EFAULT;
+                return 0;


Thanks

Vincnet
