clock_getres() in the vDSO library has to preserve the same behaviour
of posix_get_hrtimer_res().
In particular, posix_get_hrtimer_res() does:
sec = 0;
ns = hrtimer_resolution;
where 'hrtimer_resolution' depends on whether or not high resolution
timers are enabled, which is a runtime decision.
The vDSO incorrectly returns the constant CLOCK_REALTIME_RES. Fix this
by exposing 'hrtimer_resolution' in the vDSO datapage and returning that
instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
