From 3171a0305d62e6627a24bff35af4f997e4988a80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Atsushi Nemoto Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 02:00:32 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem) Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change. Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update. Passing ticks get rid of this redundant calculation. Also there are another redundancy pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky. This cleanup make a barrier added by 5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless. So this patch removes it. As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies. (This patch does not really remove wall_jiffies. It would be another cleanup patch) Signed-off-by: Atsushi Nemoto Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Cc: "Eric W.
