Copying Jeff Bastian who owns QE. Jeff, can you recall what test was
failing when we tried the gettimeofday C rewrite VDSO patches?

The LTP clock_getres01 test was failing when we tried the initial
implementation of gettimeofday-in-C. This would be a good place to
start when testing the new version of the patches.

FWIW, I just tried this on my Mustang (4.14 + these patches) with
both DT and acpi=force and it passed.

Thanks,
Laura
