Can we still remove this? > In include/linux/jiffies.h: > #define LATCH ((CLOCK_TICK_RATE + HZ/2) / HZ) /* For divider */ > Ah, I thought we had killed off LATCH, but at least it is only used on architecture specific code, and only in two files: arch/x86/kernel/apm_32.c: outb_p(LATCH & 0xff, PIT_CH0); /* LSB */ arch/unicore32/kernel/time.c: writel(readl(OST_OSMR0) - LATCH, OST_OSCR); We could decide to move the LATCH definition into those two files to remove it from common code, but it doesn't really hurt otherwise, and everything works fine if you don't define CLOCK_TICK_RATE on architectures that don't need LATCH or CLOCK_TICK_RATE in their architecture-specific code.
