I can't reveal the absolute numbers here, but vdsotest-bench gives me
quite some performance gain on my board here ("time needed on v6" divided
by "time needed on 5.2-rc1", so smaller percentages are better):
clock-gettime-monotonic: 23 %
clock-gettime-monotonic-raw: 30 %
clock-gettime-tai: 5 %
clock-getres-tai: 5 %
clock-gettime-boottime: 5 %
clock-getres-boottime: 5 %
clock-gettime-realtime: 25 %
gettimeofday: 26 %
The other numbers stayed the same or differed by just 1 ns, which seems to
be within the margin of error, as repeated runs on the same kernel suggest.
The 5% numbers are of course those were we went from a syscall-only to the
newly added arm64 VDSO implementation, but even the other calls improved
by a factor of 3 or more.
Sounds like a strong indicator that this is a good thing to have.
Not sure if "running some benchmark a couple of times on a single machine"
qualifies for this, but I guess it means:
