as usual, bugreports, fixes and suggestions are welcome,
Be aware that even with the newest -rt patch, the PowerPC TOD
vsyscalls are still broken, i.e. glibc may return imprecise/incorrect
results for the related calls -- despite arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
has been at last fixed to at least compile, the PowerPC clocksource
patch removed the important part of TOD vsyscall support, and this
hasn't been dealt with. I've sent to Thomas Gleixner a patch removing
the affected vsyscalls altogether for the time being in the early
November (unfortunately, I came to know of the breakage too late, and
hadn't time to deal with it propery due to othr woes), however, I'm
not seeing any of my patches (I've also done PowerPC clockevents
support) merged to -rt (or otherwise published). Most of the patches
can be found in the linuxppc-dev list archives, for the interested...
could you resend them to me please?
Seeing that GENERIC_TIME has been thrown out from the -rt patch, it makes
no sense now (even if I had time -- I also decided to leave this to Thomas as
the HRT maintainer). Concerning this change: tghe patch that comments out
recalc_time_offset() call in arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c must have be thrown
out as well since it's breaking TOD vsyscall support now.
