Re: [PATCH v6] s390: Fix vDSO clock_getres()

[Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>]

Hello Vincenzo,

sorry it took such a long time to answer!

This should be llgf for proper zero extension. The code works anyway,
since the upper lg would clear the high order bits, however this looks
like it works more or less by accident ;)

I changed it and applied your patch. Thanks a lot!
