AMD64，由AMD公司提出来的64位技术，由于它能很好的向下兼容32位，因此在与Intel公司的纯64技术IA64（即无法向下兼容）进行竞争的过程中占据着绝对的市场优势，当然，Intel公司不会自甘落后，因此也相继推出了IA32E（后被正式命名为EM64T，Extended Memory 64 Technology），IA32E与AMD64完全兼容，所以它们也被统称为AMD64技术。相比之前的x86-32架构，AMD64被称x86-64架构，在一般情况下，单独的x86指代的x86-32，而x86-64以x64为简称。
相比Intel支持的快速系统调用指令sysenter/sysexit，AMD对应的是syscall/sysret，不过现在，Intel也兼容这两条指令，毕竟在x64上，是AMD占了先机，Intel不能还在兼容性上吃亏。看实例：

显然，这是一台Intel CPU机器，x64的系统环境，gcc静态连接编译实例程序出错，原因很简单，我这个系统没有装静态glibc库，既然如此，那就装一个。版本要装对，所以先看看系统里已安装的对应glibc动态库：

(gdb) 验证了syscall指令问题，再来看另一个话题，即vdso。x64机器上的应用程序，在执行过程中还是会看到有vdso的映射，如下：

7fff16fff000-7fff17000000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]那这个vdso的作用是否仍如x86上一样呢？看看：

(gdb) 很明显，在x64上不再需要__kernel_vsyscall，因为它只有一种调用方式，即syscall指令（注意：x64上的32位程序不在此列，本文最后会看到）。

[root@localhost getuid]# x64的vdso里果然不再包含有__kernel_vsyscall，而是另外四个函数__vdso_time、__vdso_gettimeofday、__vdso_clock_gettime和__vdso_getcpu。
好，下面开始进入到本文的重点部分，我们知道：
1，对于一般的系统调用，不管做怎样的优化，性能消耗总是有的，比如从int 0x80中断指令到sysenter快速指令的改变，也不过是减少一些权限检测，少转存一些寄存器数据，但对用户态到内核态这条鸿沟的来回跨越却是无法避免的。
2，在某些特定的应用场合，用户进程会非常频繁的请求某些系统调用，比如nginx通过系统调用gettimeofday()获取当前时间。
3，在执行像gettimeofday()这样的系统调用时，并不会向内核提交参数，而仅仅只是从内核里请求读取某个数据，这就为内核对gettimeofday()做特别的优化设定了很好的基础，比如，内核可以把系统当前时间写在一个固定的位置，而应用程序直接从该位置简单读取即可，无需发起系统调用。
4，不发起系统调用就可以获取当前系统时间，这样做带来的性能提升是显著的，至少在理论上是如此。当然，这还有两个问题需要解决：第一，写在固定位置的时间如何更新？答案是由内核在每个时间中断里去完成这个更新动作。第二，内核和所有应用程序如何共享这一块固定位置？简单，有mmap映射。
Linux内核就是这么做的，这整个一套机制被称之为virtual system call，即vsyscall。Linux内核代码的更新是频繁的，最初的vsyscall机制从内核2.5.x开始就存在（参考2），但因为vsyscall机制的一些缺点（主要是认为其固定映射存在严重安全攻击威胁），所以有大牛又提供了vdso的改进补丁，vdso的随机映射在一定程度上缓解了安全威胁。虽然有了vdso，但从历史兼容性上来讲，vsyscall不能就此完全抛弃，否则将导致一些陈旧的（特别是静态连接的）应用程序无法执行，因此现在在2.6.x内核上，将同时看到vdso和vsyscal。
关于这份“杂乱的发展历史”，我虽然查了很多资料，但仍然没有完全理清，就差去逐个对比Linux各个版本的内核代码了，嘛，算了，这不是太重要，我给出几点整理结论（虽然它们不一定正确）：
1，在较新的2.6.x及后续版本的原生Linux内核，x86-32上没有vsyscall，而vdso也不提供gettimeofday()类函数的vsyscall功能。
这是我自己验证的结果：

有网友也提了类似问题：
http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/pipermail/kernelnewbies/2011-December/004130.html
Hi,
Why there is no vsyscall support on i386? I see it only on x86_64. In
x86_64 it supports gettimeofday, etc.
In i386, it only uses to support the sysenter optimization.
Why there is no support for gettimeofday in i386 as a vsyscall?-Fredrick
另外，我之所以说是“原生Linux内核”，是因为貌似有类似的支持补丁：
http://sr71.net/~jstultz/tod/archive/linux-2.6.18-rc3_timekeeping_C4/broken-out/linux-2.6.18-rc3_timeofday-i386-vsyscall_C4.patch
因此，具体有木有支持，还是得以在自己平台上的测试和验证结果为准。
2，在较新的2.6.x及后续版本的原生Linux内核，x86-64同时支持vsyscall和vdso，即有两套实现同时存在，但貌似在Linux 3.1版本内，vsyscall被移除，不管怎样，我们应优先使用vdso，而不是陈旧的vsyscall。

return (_dl_vdso_vsym ("gettimeofday", &linux26)

}
__asm (".type __gettimeofday, %gnu_indirect_function");
#else可以看到使用了vdso，试试静态连接：

ffffffffff600000-ffffffffff601000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vsyscall]
因此，静态连接时使用的是vsyscall。
不管是vdso还是vsyscall，利用proc接口可以进行关闭：
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64
测试：
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# gcc gettimeofday_glibc.c -o gettimeofday_glibc
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# gcc gettimeofday_glibc.c -o gettimeofday_glibc_static -static
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# strace -e trace=gettimeofday ./gettimeofday_glibc
gettimeofday({1357510633, 399266}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday() : 1357510633.40 s
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# strace -e trace=gettimeofday ./gettimeofday_glibc_static
gettimeofday({1357510638, 444941}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday() : 1357510638.44 s
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# strace -e trace=gettimeofday ./gettimeofday_glibc
gettimeofday() : 1357510645.58 s
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# strace -e trace=gettimeofday ./gettimeofday_glibc_static
gettimeofday() : 1357510648.17 s
[root@localhost gettimeofday]#可以看到，在关闭的情况下，strace能跟踪到gettimeofday()系统调用，而在打开的情况下无法跟踪到，因为此时根本就没有进行传统意义上的系统调用。
最后，我们把vsyscall页面dump出来看看：

[root@localhost gettimeofday]# 其中的“callq *%rax”指令调用的是地址0xffffffffff600d20，在内核符号里查一下：
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep ffffffffff600d
ffffffffff600d00 D __vvar_vsyscall_gtod_data
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# cat /proc/kallsyms | grep ffffffffff600
ffffffffff600000 T vgettimeofday
ffffffffff600140 T vread_tsc
ffffffffff600170 t vread_hpet
ffffffffff600400 T vtime
ffffffffff600800 T vgetcpu
ffffffffff600c80 D __vvar_jiffies
ffffffffff600c90 D __vvar_vgetcpu_mode
ffffffffff600d00 D __vvar_vsyscall_gtod_data根据这些符号的名称，不难看出一些端倪，而具体细节，本文暂且不说，但我们已经知道我们的理解是正确的。
前后结合起来看，应用程序会调入到vdso或vsyscall，而在vdso或vsyscall做进一步判断，如果当前支持并且启用了vgettimeofday()，那就使用它，否则就需要进行传统意义上的系统调用。另外，系统会优先使用vdso，比如在前面看到的代码很好的说明了这一点：
/* If the vDSO is not available we fall back on the old vsyscall. */
return (_dl_vdso_vsym ("gettimeofday", &linux26)
?: (void *) VSYSCALL_ADDR_vgettimeofday);_dl_vdso_vsym失败，则到VSYSCALL_ADDR_vgettimeofday，根据VSYSCALL_ADDR_vgettimeofday的汇编代码，可以看到里面还有判断，如果判断失败则到syscall。
在x64上试试32位程序：
[root@localhost gettimeofday]# gcc gettimeofday_glibc.c -o gettimeofday_glibc_32 -m32

[root@localhost gettimeofday]# rpm -q glibc
