With the C VDSO, the performance is slightly lower, but it is worth
it as it will ease maintenance and evolution, and also brings clocks
that are not supported with the ASM VDSO.

On an 8xx at 132 MHz, vdsotest with the ASM VDSO:
  gettimeofday:    		  vdso:  828 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   vdso:  391 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  vdso:  614 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime:    	  vdso:  460 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime:    	  vdso:  876 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic-coarse:  vdso:  399 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso:  691 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic:    	  vdso:  460 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:    	  vdso: 1026 nsec/call

On an 8xx at 132 MHz, vdsotest with the C VDSO:
  gettimeofday:    		  vdso:  955 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   vdso:  545 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  vdso:  592 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime:          vdso:  545 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime:    	  vdso:  941 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic-coarse:  vdso:  545 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso:  591 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic:         vdso:  545 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:        vdso:  940 nsec/call

It is even better for gettime with monotonic clocks.

Unsupported clocks with ASM VDSO:
  clock-gettime-boottime:         vdso: 3851 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-tai:      	  vdso: 3852 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:    vdso: 3396 nsec/call

Same clocks with C VDSO:
  clock-gettime-tai:              vdso:  941 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:    vdso: 1001 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso:  591 nsec/call

On an 8321E at 333 MHz, vdsotest with the ASM VDSO:
  gettimeofday:     		  vdso: 220 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   vdso: 102 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  vdso: 178 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime:          vdso: 129 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime:    	  vdso: 235 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic-coarse:  vdso: 105 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 208 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic:         vdso: 129 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:        vdso: 274 nsec/call

On an 8321E at 333 MHz, vdsotest with the C VDSO:
  gettimeofday:    		  vdso: 272 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   vdso: 160 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  vdso: 184 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime:          vdso: 166 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime:         vdso: 281 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic-coarse:  vdso: 160 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 184 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic:         vdso: 169 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:        vdso: 275 nsec/call

On a Power9 Nimbus DD2.2 at 3.8GHz, with the ASM VDSO:
  clock-gettime-monotonic:    	  vdso:  35 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic:    	  vdso:  16 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso:  18 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic-coarse:  vdso: 522 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:    vdso: 598 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic-raw:     vdso: 520 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime:    	  vdso:  34 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime:    	  vdso:  16 nsec/call

  getcpu:    			  vdso:   8 nsec/call
  gettimeofday:    		  vdso:  25 nsec/call

  clock-gettime-monotonic:    	  vdso:  37 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic:    	  vdso:  20 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso:  21 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic-coarse:  vdso:  19 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:    vdso:  38 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic-raw:     vdso:  20 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime:    	  vdso:  37 nsec/call

  clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  vdso:  20 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   vdso:  19 nsec/call
