Based on what I can see in kernel/vdso64 in 5.2-rc3:

/*
 * Exact prototype of clock_getres()
 *
 * int __kernel_clock_getres(clockid_t clock_id, struct timespec *res);
 *
 */
V_FUNCTION_BEGIN(__kernel_clock_getres)
  .cfi_startproc
	/* Check for supported clock IDs */
	cmpwi	cr0,r3,CLOCK_REALTIME
	cmpwi	cr1,r3,CLOCK_MONOTONIC
	cror	cr0*4+eq,cr0*4+eq,cr1*4+eq
	bne	cr0,99f

	li	r3,0
	cmpldi	cr0,r4,0
	crclr	cr0*4+so
	beqlr
	lis	r5,CLOCK_REALTIME_RES@h
	ori	r5,r5,CLOCK_REALTIME_RES@l
	std	r3,TSPC64_TV_SEC(r4)
	std	r5,TSPC64_TV_NSEC(r4)
	blr

	/*
	 * syscall fallback
	 */
99:
	li	r0,__NR_clock_getres
	sc
	blr
  .cfi_endproc
V_FUNCTION_END(__kernel_clock_getres)

it does not seem so for what concerns vdso64. I did run again the test both on
ppc and ppc64 qemu instances and the result is the same to what I reported in
this thread.

Am I missing something?
