[PATCH 1/2] time: refactor usecs_to_jiffies

[Nicholas Mc Guire]

Refactor the usecs_to_jiffies conditional code part in time.c and
jiffies.h putting it into conditional functions rather than #ifdefs
to improve readability. This is analogous to the msecs_to_jiffies()
cleanup commit ca42aaf0c861 ("time: Refactor msecs_to_jiffies")

Patch was build tested for:
  arm - imx_v6_v7_defconfig, vexpress_defconfig
  cris - etrax-100lx_v2_defconfig
  ia64 - generic_defconfig
  (though with lots of build warnings both with and without patch)
  m68k - multi_defconfig
  mips32 - ar7_defconfig, 
  mips64 - loongson3_defconfig 
  powerpc - 44x/virtex5_defconfig 
  powerpc64 - ppc64_defconfig
  s390 - failed to build for all defconfigs with toolchain from kernel.org
  (cc1: error: unrecognized command line option '-mtune=zEC12')
  sh - se7780_defconfig,
  sparc32 - sparc32_defconfig
  sparc64 - sparc64_defconfig
  x86 64 - x86_64_defconfig,

patch is against 4.1-rc5 (localversion-next is -next-20150527)

[PATCH 2/2] time: allow gcc to fold constants when possible

[Nicholas Mc Guire]

To allow constant folding in usecs_to_jiffies() conditionally calls
the HZ dependent _usecs_to_jiffies() helpers or, when gcc can not
figure out constant folding, __usecs_to_jiffies, which is the renamed
original usecs_to_jiffies() function.

Patch was build tested for:
  arm - imx_v6_v7_defconfig, vexpress_defconfig
  cris - etrax-100lx_v2_defconfig
  ia64 - generic_defconfig

Hi Nicholas.

Thanks for following through with this.

The subject might be nicer if it referenced usecs_to_jiffies
instead of being a bit generic.

Maybe something like:

time: allow gcc to fold usecs_to_jiffies(constant)

And for correctness sake the first letter after the colon, i.e. the
one starting the sentence wants to be uppercase.

I'm going to fix that up all together when applying the lot. No need
for resend.

Is this something that would be worth adding to checkpatch?

Probably not as different people have different standards.

$ git log --no-merges --pretty=oneline -10000 | \
  cut -f2- -d" " | \
  sed -r -e 's/^.*:\s+//' -e 's/^(.).*/\1/' | \
  sort | uniq -c

It's about 50:50 upper case to lower case
