From 7d27558c4138ac6b3684dea35c2f4379b940a7dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: john stultz Date: Fri, 1 May 2009 13:10:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] timekeeping: create arch_gettimeoffset infrastructure Some arches don't supply their own clocksource. This is mainly the case in architectures that get their inter-tick times by reading the counter on their interval timer. Since these timers wrap every tick, they're not really useful as clocksources. Wrapping them to act like one is possible but not very efficient. So we provide a callout these arches can implement for use with the jiffies clocksource to provide finer then tick granular time.
