+Subject: [PATCH 4/5] vmmon: bring back the do_gettimeofday() helper
+
+The do_gettimeofday() helper was removed by commit e4b92b108c6c
+("timekeeping: remove obsolete time accessors") in v5.0-rc1. Bring it back
+for users in vmmon-only/linux/hostif.c.
+
+This feels like a quick and clumsy band aid to allow build with post-4.20
+kernels. On a closer look, the whole gymnastics around uptimeState and
+HostIFReadUptimeWork() with jiffies and wall time checking and correcting
+each other seems to be a workaround for an absence of high resolution
+monotonic time. Considering ktime_get_ts64() is available since 3.17 and
+before that, ktime_get_ts() since 2.6.17, perhaps the time has come to
+clean all this machinery up. But something like this would be beyond the
+scope of this repository.
