In low level gettimeofday syscall, it should be ok, will check the non-vdso
code of glibc later. in musl, it returns 0 when it is NULL
(src/time/gettimeofday.c).

Just checked it again, these two cases can also detect the issues (1):

CASE_TEST(gettimeofday_tv); EXPECT_SYSZR(1, gettimeofday(&tv, NULL)); break;
CASE_TEST(gettimeofday_tv_tz);EXPECT_SYSZR(1, gettimeofday(&tv, &tz)); break;

(1) nolibc-test.c:(.text.gettimeofday+0x54): undefined reference to `__aeabi_ldivmod'

we can directly remove the second one ;-)

so, we still need to check the original gettimeofday_null test case for glibc?

Thanks,
