    [PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem) · 3171a030
    Atsushi Nemoto 提交于
    Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times(), and adjust x86_64 and s390
    timer interrupt handler with this change.
    
    Currently update_times() calculates ticks by "jiffies - wall_jiffies", but
    callers of do_timer() should know how many ticks to update.  Passing ticks
    get rid of this redundant calculation.  Also there are another redundancy
    pointed out by Martin Schwidefsky.
    
    This cleanup make a barrier added by
    5aee405c needless.  So this patch removes
    it.
    
    As a bonus, this cleanup make wall_jiffies can be removed easily, since now
    wall_jiffies is always synced with jiffies.  (This patch does not really
    remove wall_jiffies.  It would be another cleanup patch)
