From 205bee6ad804d7034773b5978c74dde495df2301 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Russell King Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2008 13:57:26 +0100 Subject: [ARM] dyntick: Remove obsolete and unused ARM dyntick support dyntick is superseded by the clocksource/clockevent infrastructure, using the NO_HZ configuration option. No one implements dyntick on ARM anymore, so it's pointless keeping it around. Remove dyntick support.
