Subject: [RFC] Use jiffies_64 in sched_clock()
Date: Fri, 29 Dec 2006 18:52:16 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061229155216.GA11125@localhost.sw.ru> (raw)
Would it make sense to always use jiffies_64 instead of jiffies?
(module hardware specific version)
This is what FRV, UML, one ia64 version, one i386 version do.
Also substract initial jiffies.
