From 61a492fb1759f3e892ad0408e36d3575c5f890d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2014 10:50:56 -0700 Subject: x86_64/vdso: Remove jiffies from the vvar page I think that the jiffies vvar was once used for the vgetcpu cache. That code is long gone, so let's just make jiffies be a normal variable.
