Subject: [patch 05/38] treewide: Remove CLOCK_TICK_RATE
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:18:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260410120317.910770161@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260410120044.031381086@kernel.org
This has been scheduled for removal more than a decade ago and the comments
related to it have been dutifully ignored. The last dependencies are gone.
Remove it along with various now empty asm/timex.h files.
Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@kernel.org>
