Subject: [PATCH 2/2] powerpc/vdso64: Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2017 14:53:36 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170918092336.21912-2-santosh@fossix.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170918092336.21912-1-santosh@fossix.org>

Current vDSO64 implementation does not have support for coarse clocks
(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE, CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE), for which it falls back
to system call, increasing the response time, vDSO implementation reduces
the cycle time. Below is a benchmark of the difference in execution time
with and without vDSO support.

(Non-coarse clocks are also included just for completion)

Without vDSO support:
--------------------
clock-gettime-realtime: syscall: 172 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    libc: 26 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime:    vdso: 21 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic: syscall: 170 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    libc: 30 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic:    vdso: 24 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: syscall: 153 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    libc: 15 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:    vdso: 9 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: syscall: 167 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    libc: 15 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse:    vdso: 11 nsec/call
