From 868a3e915f7f5eba8f8cb4f7da2276760807c51c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2015 21:08:37 +0000 Subject: hrtimer: Make offset update smarter On every tick/hrtimer interrupt we update the offset variables of the clock bases. That's silly because these offsets change very seldom. Add a sequence counter to the time keeping code which keeps track of the offset updates (clock_was_set()). Have a sequence cache in the hrtimer cpu bases to evaluate whether the offsets must be updated or not. This allows us later to avoid pointless cacheline pollution.
