2026-01-13	vdso: Add prototype for __vdso_clock_getres_time64()	Thomas Weißschuh
	For consistency with __vdso_clock_gettime64() there should also be a 64-bit variant of clock_getres(). This will allow the extension of CONFIG_COMPAT_32BIT_TIME to the vDSO and finally the removal of 32-bit time types from the kernel and UAPI. The generic vDSO library already provides nearly all necessary building blocks for architectures to provide this function. Only a prototype is missing. Add the prototype to the generic header so architectures can start providing this function.

2025-09-05	vdso: Add struct __kernel_old_timeval forward declaration to gettime.h	Thomas Weißschuh
	The prototype of __vdso_gettimeofday() uses this struct. However gettime.h's own includes do not provide a definition for it. Add a forward declaration, similar to other used structs.

2023-11-23	arch: vdso: consolidate gettime prototypes	Arnd Bergmann
	The VDSO functions are defined as globals in the kernel sources but intended to be called from userspace, so there is no need to declare them in a kernel side header. Without a prototype, this now causes warnings such as arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:14:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:28:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:36:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_getres' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/mips/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:42:5: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime64' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:254:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:282:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_clock_gettime_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:307:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/sparc/vdso/vclock_gettime.c:343:1: error: no previous prototype for '__vdso_gettimeofday_stick' [-Werror=missing-prototypes] Most architectures have already added workarounds for these by adding declarations somewhere, but since these are all compatible, we should really just have one copy, with an #ifdef check for the 32-bit vs 64-bit variant and use that everywhere. Unfortunately, the sparc an um versions are currently incompatible since they never added support for __vdso_clock_gettime64() in 32-bit userland. For the moment, I'm leaving this one out, as I can't easily test it and it requires a larger rework.
