    time: Remove xtime_cache · 6a867a39
    John Stultz 提交于
    With the earlier logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
    always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of possibly
    half a second off.
    
    This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always stored the
    time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up removing the
    xtime_cache related code.
    
    This patch also addresses an issue with an earlier version of this change,
    where xtime_cache was normalizing xtime, which could in some cases be
    not valid (ie: tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC). This is fixed by handling
    the edge case in update_wall_time().
