Is this on Linux? I'm no expert on this, but in the kernel source
lib/vdso/gettimeofday.c, I see this:

__cvdso_gettimeofday_data:
                if (do_hres(&vd[CS_HRES_COARSE], CLOCK_REALTIME, &ts))
                        return gettimeofday_fallback(tv, tz);

                tv->tv_sec = ts.tv_sec;
                tv->tv_usec = (u32)ts.tv_nsec / NSEC_PER_USEC;

__cvdso_time_data:
        t = READ_ONCE(vd[CS_HRES_COARSE].basetime[CLOCK_REALTIME].sec);

This looks to me as if it's the same source. But maybe I'm looking in the
wrong place or misunderstanding.
