Thank you Daniel! Will investigate those. Meanwhile, Greg, I referred to: time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting Since we're not using this type of clock on arm64's 4.4 kernel vdso functions. This commit's description calls attention for it to be responsible for fixing kselftest flacking tests, we wouldn't get that on 4.4 according to bellow: stable-rc-linux-4.14.y dbb236c1ceb6 arm64/vdso: Fix nsec handling for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW 49eea433b326 arm64: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in clock_gettime() vDSO 82e88ff1ea94 hrtimer: Revert CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW support 9c808765e88e hrtimer: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW stable-rc-linux-4.16.y dbb236c1ceb6 arm64/vdso: Fix nsec handling for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW 49eea433b326 arm64: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in clock_gettime() vDSO 82e88ff1ea94 hrtimer: Revert CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW support 9c808765e88e hrtimer: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW stable-rc-linux-4.4.y <none> stable-rc-linux-4.9.y 99f66b5182a4 arm64/vdso: Fix nsec handling for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW 49eea433b326 arm64: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in clock_gettime() vDSO 82e88ff1ea94 hrtimer: Revert CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW support 9c808765e88e hrtimer: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW Yet, the second fix was backported to all (including 4.4.y): stable-rc-linux-4.14.y 3d88d56c5873 time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting stable-rc-linux-4.16.y 3d88d56c5873 time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting stable-rc-linux-4.4.y 7c8bd6e07430 time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting stable-rc-linux-4.9.y a53bfdda06ac time: Fix CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW sub-nanosecond accounting Not sure you want to keep it in 4.4, thought it was worth mentioning it.

But in my setup, select04 was working fine (x86_64) in 4.4.132.
