[PATCH v4.16-rc5 1/2] x86/vdso: VDSO should handle clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) without syscall

From: jason . vas . dias
Date: Sat Mar 17 2018 - 10:29:59 EST



This patch makes the vDSO handle clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW,&ts)
calls in the same way it handles clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC,&ts) calls,
reducing latency from @ 200-1000ns to @ 20ns.
