Thanks for the review, below the updated patch:
From: Adhemerval Zanella <azanella@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
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.
