Subject[RFC][PATCH] sched_clock_cpu()
From
Date
Hi,

This is my current proposal to replace the rq->clock stuff (and possibly
cpu_clock()).

it _DOESN'T_ boot ;-/ and I seem to have caught a flu that makes my
whole body hurt like hell, so I'm not getting anything done.

Brain dump before I crash:

- architectures that have a 'perfect' hardware clock can set
CONFIG_HAVE_STABLE_CLOCK

- the 'jiffie' window might be superfulous when we update tick_gtod
before the __update_sched_clock() call in sched_clock_tick()

- cpu_clock() might be implemented as:

sched_clock_cpu(smp_processor_id())

if the accuracy proves good enough - how far can TSC drift in a
single jiffie when considering the filtering and idle hooks?

- what other architectures besides x86 would need this?
