Current vDSO64 implementation does not have support for coarse clocks (CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE), for which it falls back to system call, increasing the response time, vDSO implementation reduces the cycle time. Below is a benchmark of the difference in execution times. (Non-coarse clocks are also included just for completion) clock-gettime-realtime: syscall: 172 nsec/call clock-gettime-realtime: libc: 28 nsec/call clock-gettime-realtime: vdso: 22 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic: syscall: 171 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic: libc: 30 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic: vdso: 25 nsec/call clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: syscall: 153 nsec/call clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: libc: 16 nsec/call clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 10 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: syscall: 167 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: libc: 17 nsec/call clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 11 nsec/call CC: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Reviewed-by: Naveen N.

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.
