From 27ec4407790d075c325e1f4da0a19c56953cce23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ingo Molnar Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2008 21:00:21 +0100 Subject: sched: make cpu_clock() globally synchronous Alexey Zaytsev reported (and bisected) that the introduction of cpu_clock() in printk made the timestamps jump back and forth. Make cpu_clock() more reliable while still keeping it fast when it's called frequently.
