Looks good to me

There was a bug on ARM for the corresponding function, so far it is unclear
if this was a problem related to particular hardware, the 32-bit kernel code,
or the common implementation of clock_gettime64 in the vdso library,
see https://github.com/richfelker/musl-cross-make/issues/96

Just to be sure that powerpc is not affected by the same issue, can you
confirm that repeatedly calling clock_gettime64 on powerpc32, alternating
between vdso and syscall, results in monotically increasing times?


I think that's one of the things vdsotest checks, so yes that's ok I think.
