            Bug ID: 213419
           Summary: Outdated limitation for powerpc in vdso(7)
           Product: Documentation
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: man-pages
          Assignee: documentation_man-pages@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu
        Regression: No

https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/vdso.7.html (as of today, flagged
2021-03-22)

ppc/32 and ppc/64 sections both have the following note:

The CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE clocks are
       not supported by the __kernel_clock_getres and
       __kernel_clock_gettime interfaces; the kernel falls back to the
       real system call

This note has been wrong from quite some time now, since commit 654abc69ef2e
("powerpc/vdso32: Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE") and
commit 5c929885f1bb ("powerpc/vdso64: Add support for
CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE")
