From d4f587c67fc39e0030ddd718675e252e208da4d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:47:31 +0200 Subject: timekeeping: Increase granularity of read_persistent_clock() The persistent clock of some architectures (e.g. s390) have a better granularity than seconds. To reduce the delta between the host clock and the guest clock in a virtualized system change the read_persistent_clock function to return a struct timespec.
