Since you are only reading one long you shouldn't need to check the update count and loop, you will always see a consistent value. The system call version of time() just does an unprotected load for example.
Fixed.
With the above change and with Michael's comments covered (decent changelog entry and Signed-off-by): Acked-by: Anton Blanchard <redacted>
Thanks for the review, below the updated patch: From: Adhemerval Zanella <redacted> This patch implement the time syscall as vDSO. The performance speedups are: Baseline PPC32: 380 nsec Baseline PPC64: 350 nsec vdso PPC32: 20 nsec vsdo PPC64: 20 nsec Tested on 64 bit build with both 32 bit and 64 bit userland.
