Please find below the results:

clock            | before     | after      | diff
==================================================
monotonic          17326692     17951770     3.6%
monotonic-coarse   43624027     44215292     1.3%
monotonic-raw      17541809     17554932     0.1%
boottime           17334982     17954361     3.5%

The improvement for arm64 for monotonic and boottime is around 3.5%.

I created a pull request on github to send to you back the changes I had
to do to vdso-perf to cross-compile it on arm64 [1].
