to understand vdso you might look at arch/mips/vdso and lib/vdso
kernel sources.

And if I understand it correctly you neither have a working high resolution
timer usable bei do_hres() in lib/vdso/gettimeofday.c or a working
gettimeofday_fallback(), which is enabled via CONFIG_MIPS_CLOCK_VSYSCALL
and needs either CSRC_R4K or CLKSRC_MIPS_GIC.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
good idea.                                                [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
