Beginning with the upcoming 4.1 release, Linux on a subset of 32-bit ARM hardware will provide fast user-space implementations of the following system calls: - gettimeofday - clock_gettime The kernel implementation depends on the ARMv7 Generic Timers Extension to accelerate these system calls. So CPUs such as Cortex-A15 and -A7 benefit, while Cortex-A9, -A8, and pre-v7 CPUs do not. On systems where the VDSO does not provide any speedup, the kernel prevents the relevant symbol lookups from succeeding. On OMAP5 (Cortex-A15) gettimeofday latency decreases from ~350ns to ~120ns. On BeagleBone Black (Cortex-A8) it goes from ~650ns to ~660ns, which to my mind is an acceptable cost. Verified that no new test failures are introduced on kernels with and without the VDSO. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/Makefile: (sysdep_routines): Include dl-vdso. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/init-first.c: New file: Use VDSO routines for gettimeofday, clock_gettime if available. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/libc-vdso.h: New file: Declare VDSO symbols. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/sysdep.h: [HAVE_GETTIMEOFDAY_VSYSCALL]: Define. [HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME_VSYSCALL]: Define. * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/arm/Versions: Add __vdso_clock_gettime.
