Date: Wed, 6 Apr 2011 22:04:01 -0400 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@....EDU> To: x86@...nel.org Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, Andi Kleen <andi@...stfloor.org>, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Andy Lutomirski <luto@....edu> Subject: [RFT/PATCH v2 4/6] x86-64: vclock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) can't ever see nsec < 0 vclock_gettime's do_monotonic helper can't ever generate a negative nsec value, so it doesn't need to check whether it's negative. In the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE case, ns can't ever exceed 2e9-1, so we can avoid the loop entirely. This saves a single easily-predicted branch.
