Hi Andrew This patch should be applied after x86_64 : fix vtime() vsyscall Thank you [PATCH] x86_64 : vsyscall_gtod_data diet and vgettimeofday() fix Current vsyscall_gtod_data is large (3 or 4 cache lines dirtied at timer interrupt). We can shrink it to exactly 64 bytes (1 cache line on AMD64) Instead of copying a whole struct clocksource, we copy only needed fields. I deleted an unused field : offset_base This patch fixes one oddity in vgettimeofday(): It can returns a timeval with tv_usec = 1000000. Maybe not a bug, but why not doing the right thing ?
