hm, the patch seems to transform a mess into a mess. I guess it's a messy
problem.
I agree that aggregating all the time-related things into a struct like
this makes some sense. As does aggregating them all into a similar-looking
namespace, but that'd probably be too intrusive - too late for that.
Hi Andrew, thanks for your comments.
I sent two patches for the __attribute__((weak)) xtime_lock thing, and
calc_load() optimization, which dont depend on ktimed.
Should I now send patches for aggregating things or is it considered too
intrusive ? (Sorry if I didnt understand your last sentence)
If yes, should I send separate patches to :
1) define an empty ktimed (or with a placeholder for jiffies64, not yet used)
2) move xtime into ktimed
3) move xtime_lock into ktimed
4) move wall_to_monotonic into ktimed
5) move calc_load.count into ktimed
6) move avenrun into ktimed.
7) patches to use ktimed.jiffies64 on various arches (with the problem of
aliasing jiffies)
Thank you
Eric
