Subject: why no vsyscall support on x86 or i386 ?
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2011 17:59:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4EEAA61A.2000007@zoho.com> (raw)

Hi,

Why there is no vsyscall support on i386? I see it only on x86_64. In 
x86_64 it supports gettimeofday, etc.
In i386, it only uses to support the sysenter optimization.
Why there is no support for gettimeofday in i386 as a vsyscall?
