Subject: [PATCH] [RFC] ia64: Attempt to update of fsyscall gettime to use modern vsyscall_update
Ia64 hasn't yet moved away from the old vsyscall_update to the newer
implementation. This is in part due to the vsyscall being implemented
in asm (via the ia64 fsyscall feature), which makes me want to run away.
The core logic change with the updated vsyscall method is that we
preserve the base nanosecond value in shifted nanoseconds, which
allows us to avoid truncating and rounding up to the next nanosecond
every tick to avoid inconsistencies.
Thus the logic moved from
nsec = ((cycle_delta * mult)>>shift) + base_nsec;
to
nsec = ((cycle_delta * mult) + base_snsec) >> shift;
To try to get the discussion going, I've taken a swing at migrating
the update logic and have naievely tried to change the asm logic,
but its quite likely wrong.
NOT BUILD TESTED!
Feedback and thoughts would be appreciated!
