[patch 12/18] x86: vdso: pvclock gettime support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Improve performance of time system calls when using Linux pvclock, 
by reading time info from fixmap visible copy of pvclock data.

Originally from Jeremy Fitzhardinge.
