# vDSO (7) - virtual (ELF) dynamic shared object
|
|
|
|
This library replaces some syscalls in order to get values from shared
|
|
memory pages between all applications, preventing context switches and
|
|
improving overall performances.
|
|
Example: current time is the same for all applications, thus the time
|
|
is written in a shared memory space that all applications can access at
|
|
any time without sending a request to the kernel.
