Subject[PATCH 1/2] x86-64: Simplify and optimize vdso clock_gettime monotonic variants
Date
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@mit.edu>

We used to store the wall-to-monotonic offset and the realtime base.
It's faster to precompute the monotonic base.

This is about a 3% speedup on Sandy Bridge for CLOCK_MONOTONIC.
It's much more impressive for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE.
