Fixed. > With the above change and with Michael's comments covered (decent > changelog entry and Signed-off-by): > > Acked-by: Anton Blanchard Thanks for the review, below the updated patch: From: Adhemerval Zanella This patch implement the time syscall as vDSO. The performance speedups are: Baseline PPC32: 380 nsec Baseline PPC64: 350 nsec vdso PPC32: 20 nsec vsdo PPC64: 20 nsec Tested on 64 bit build with both 32 bit and 64 bit userland.
