Message-ID: <4EEAA61A.2000007@zoho.com> To: kernelnewbies@lists.kernelnewbies.org List-Id: kernelnewbies.lists.kernelnewbies.org 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? -Fredrick
