The vdso tries to check for a NULL res pointer in __kernel_clock_getres,
but only checks the lower 32 bits as is uses CBZ on the W register the
res pointer is held in.
Thus, if the res pointer happened to be aligned to a 4GiB boundary, we'd
spuriously skip storing the timespec to it, while returning a zero error code
to the caller.
Prevent this by checking the whole pointer, using CBZ on the X register
the res pointer is held in.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
