What was the destiny of that patch? I haven't seen it accepted,
haven't seen any comments... while this is not a mere warning fix.
What am I expected to do to get it accepted -- recast it against
2.6.19-rt1?
i'd suggest to redo it - but please keep it simple and clean. Those
dozens of casts to u64 are quite ugly.
Alas, there's *nothing* I can do about it with 32-bit cycles_t. And if you
look at the kernel, this is not the only case of such "ugliness", look at this
commit for example:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/paulus/powerpc.git;a=commit;h=685143ac1f7a579a3fac9c7f2ac8f82e95af6864
Why is cycles_t 32-bits on some
of the arches to begin with?
I guess this was done for speed reasons. That's not a qustion for me
although...
