From 09ec54429c6d10f87d1f084de53ae2c1c3a81108 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 21:05:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: Move cycle_last validation to core code The only user of the cycle_last validation is the x86 TSC. In order to provide NMI safe accessor functions for clock monotonic and monotonic_raw we need to do that in the core. We can't do the TSC specific if (now < cycle_last) now = cycle_last; for the other wrapping around clocksources, but TSC has CLOCKSOURCE_MASK(64) which actually does not mask out anything so if now is less than cycle_last the subtraction will give a negative result. So we can check for that in clocksource_delta() and return 0 for that case. Implement and enable it for x86 Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: John Stultz --- Reading git-format-patch failed
