$ unshare -r -T --boottime $((365*24*3600))
# uptime
 21:54:36 up 365 days,  5:38,  0 user,  load average: 0.05, 0.08, 2.82
# /home/xry111/git-repos/linux/tools/testing/selftests/vDSO/vdso_test_getrandom bench-single
   vdso: 25000000 times in 0.499528591 seconds
   libc: 25000000 times in 6.968980040 seconds
syscall: 25000000 times in 6.987357071 seconds

So it seems normal in a time ns.

And from a comment in arch/loongarch/include/asm/vdso/vdso.h:

/*
 * The layout of vvar:
 *
 *                      high
 * +---------------------+--------------------------+
 * | loongarch vdso data | LOONGARCH_VDSO_DATA_SIZE |
 * +---------------------+--------------------------+
 * |  time-ns vdso data  |        PAGE_SIZE         |
 * +---------------------+--------------------------+
 * |  generic vdso data  |        PAGE_SIZE         |
 * +---------------------+--------------------------+
 *                      low
 */

And VVAR_LOONGARCH_PAGES_START is 2:

enum vvar_pages {
    VVAR_GENERIC_PAGE_OFFSET,
    VVAR_TIMENS_PAGE_OFFSET,
    VVAR_LOONGARCH_PAGES_START,
    VVAR_LOONGARCH_PAGES_END = VVAR_LOONGARCH_PAGES_START +
LOONGARCH_VDSO_DATA_PAGES - 1,
    VVAR_NR_PAGES,
};

So get_vdso_data() + VVAR_LOONGARCH_PAGES_START * PAGE_SIZE should have
already "jumped over" the time-ns vdso data.

OTOH it seems we are wasting a page if !CONFIG_TIME_NS.	Maybe:

enum vvar_pages {
    VVAR_GENERIC_PAGE_OFFSET,
#ifdef CONFIG_TIME_NS
    VVAR_TIMENS_PAGE_OFFSET,
#endif
    VVAR_LOONGARCH_PAGES_START,
    VVAR_LOONGARCH_PAGES_END = VVAR_LOONGARCH_PAGES_START +
LOONGARCH_VDSO_DATA_PAGES - 1,
    VVAR_NR_PAGES,
};

Tiezhu: how do you think?
