Subject: [RFC patch 5/8] timekeeping: Store cycle_last value in timekeeper struct as well
Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2013 22:51:38 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130221224231.033750368@linutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20130221220147.719832397@linutronix.de
[-- Attachment #1: timekeeping-store-cycle-last-in-timekeeper.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1864 bytes --]
For implementing a shadow timekeeper and a split calculation/update
region we need to store the cycle_last value in the timekeeper and
update the value in the clocksource struct only in the update region.
Add the extra storage to the timekeeper.
