From a4ca1298d8a0472a45624fa5fb99f90f0f367187 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:46:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] time: Remove bogus comments There is no global irq lock which makes a syscall magically SMP safe. Remove the outdated comment concerning do_settimeofday() as well.
