VDSO support for Time namespace needs to set up a page with the same layout as VVAR. That timens page will be placed on position of VVAR page inside namespace. That page contains time namespace clock offsets and it has vdso_data->seq set to 1 to enforce the slow path and vdso_data->clock_mode set to VCLOCK_TIMENS to enforce the time namespace handling path. Allocate the timens page during namespace creation. Setup the offsets when the first task enters the ns and freeze them to guarantee the pace of monotonic/boottime clocks and to avoid breakage of applications. The design decision is to have a global offset_lock which is used during namespace offsets setup and to freeze offsets when the first task joins the new time namespace. That is better in terms of memory usage compared to having a per namespace mutex that's used only during the setup period.

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 Restructured Text 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.
