Similar functionality is already available via VDSO on
platforms that support it (currently PowerPC and AMD64?) --
seems like a better way forward.
In general I agree, but that only works if you operate on a
platform that
supports virtual syscalls, and has vdso configured.
That's why I said "a better way forward", not "this already
works everywhere".
I'm not overly familiar
with vdso, but I didn't think vdso could be supported on all
platforms/arches.
Oh? Which can not, and why?
