Research direction
Search the repository for all occurrences of 'sys gettimeofday' in the documentation files (likely .md or .rst). Verify that the current Linux kernel uses ' x64 sys gettimeofday' as the replacement for the x86 64 architecture. Update the relevant sections in the book to use the new name, and ensure consistency across the text.
