[PATCH 0/3] vdso/gettimeofday: Add support for ALARM clocks
From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Mon Sep 21 2026 - 06:17:58 EST
Extend the generic vDSO library to also handle CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM
and CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM. This does not introduce any runtime overhead
in the userspace fast path and only memory copies in the tick update
path.
