Subject: [PATCH 0/4] Fix periodic itimers precision -v4
Hello,
I'm resending patches for fixing itimers periodic ticks precision,
for reference see: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/2/230
Changelog:
v3 -> v4
- Rebase for 2.6.31
v2 -> v3 (resend 5):
- Use CPUCLOCK_PROF CPUCLOCK_VIRT defines in kernel/fork.c
- Using inline function cputime_sub_ns() with sanity check against negative
results instead of macro.
- Add patch which optimize jiffies_to_cputime(1) for PowerPC with
CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
v1 -> v2 (resend 4):
- Add comment about CPUCLOCK_PROF and CPUCLOCK_VIRT are 0 and 1 respectively and
can be used for indexing itimers array.
- Remove not needed BUG().
- Coding style fixes.
- Better algorithm (idea form Thomas) to calculate next signal time for periodic
itimers, we use now precomputed nanosecond value of cputime 1 tick.
- Add patch with simplify arm_timer() function.
v0 -> v1 (resend 3):
- Fix bug: using utime instead of sum stime + utime when setup PROF itimer.
- Fix bug: using value->it_interval instead of ovalue->it_interavl.
- No new definitions IT_PROF and IT_VIRT only CPUCLOCK_PROF and CPUCLOCK_VIRT
are used.
Cheers
Stanislaw
