Subject[RFC 0/2] ABI for clock_gettime_ns
Date
On x86-64, clock_gettime is so fast that the overhead converting to and
from nanoseconds is non-negligible. clock_gettime_ns is a different
interface that is potentially faster. If people like the ABI, I'll
implement an optimized version.

For the git-inclined, this series is at
https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/luto/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/timing/clock_gettime_ns/rfc_v1

Andy Lutomirski (2):
Add clock_gettime_ns syscall
x86-64: Add __vdso_clock_gettime_ns vsyscall
