* [PATCH] fix and optimize clock source updateRoman Zippel2006-06-261-104/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the clock source updates in update_wall_time() to correctly track the time coming in via current_tick_length(). Optimize the fast paths to be as short as possible to keep the overhead low.

* [PATCH] generic-time: add macro to simplify/hide mask constantsJim Cromie2006-06-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a CLOCKSOURCE_MASK macro to simplify initializing the mask for a struct clocksource, and use it to replace literal mask constants in the various clocksource drivers.

* [PATCH] time: rename clocksource functionsjohn stultz2006-06-261-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | As suggested by Roman Zippel, change clocksource functions to use clocksource_xyz rather then xyz_clocksource to avoid polluting the namespace.

* [PATCH] Time: Use clocksource abstraction for NTP adjustmentsjohn stultz2006-06-261-0/+97
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time. Using the clocksource abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies clocksource. This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using shifted nanoseconds. The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the blame to me.

* [PATCH] Time: Clocksource Infrastructurejohn stultz2006-06-261-0/+181
This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure. A clocksource is a driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter. This code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources. Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.
