Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Introduce a vmonotonic_clock() vsyscall.
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 17:09:29 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45591749.90501@FreeBSD.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <455916A5.2030402@FreeBSD.org>
This is the vsyscall equivalent of monotonic_clock(), using the per-cpu vxtime.
It returns the number of nanoseconds since boot.
It's intended to be used by processes that need a cheap and nanosecond
resolution time counter.
