(cherry pick from url https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10044503/) Take an effort to recode the arm64 vdso code from assembler to C previously submitted by Andrew Pinski <apinski@cavium.com>, rework it for use in both arm and arm64, overlapping any optimizations for each architecture. But instead of landing it in arm64, land the result into lib/vdso and unify both implementations to simplify future maintenance. Add a case for CLOCK_BOOTTIME as it is popular for measuring relative time on systems expected to suspend() or hibernate(). Android uses CLOCK_BOOTTIME for all relative time measurements and timeouts. Switching to vdso reduced CPU utilization and improves accuracy. There is also a desire by some partners to switch all logging over to CLOCK_BOOTTIME, and thus this operation alone would contribute to a near percentile CPU load.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
