Hello

  Are there any documents about what the clock override feature is? It seems that the feature will hurt time resolution,doesn't it?

In fact,I will try to get the symbol addr of  __vdso_clock_gettime just like the same way glibc does with __vdso_gettimeofday.

Is there any other cheaper way to call   __vdso_clock_gettime  ?

Thanks

Yes, the clock override feature, as well as the getcpu override,
should be merged within lttng-ust and lttng-tools master branches
this week. Stay tuned!

Thanks,

Mathieu
