| |
This adds the long debated sched_clock() override for the weak in-kernel jiffybased sched_clock(). The implementation is more or less identical to the one used in arch/arm/plat-omap/common.c and at last attempt to merge this the merge was postponed at the request of Peter Zijlstra due to pending discussions regarding generalized clocksource-based sched_clock() implementations by adding a flag to the clocksource. However that discussion ended up with the generic code needing to be rewritten and Paul Mundt see no reason not to proceed with this for the time being as it can be easily converted once the generic code is in place.
