From 92127c7a45d4d167d9b015a5f9de6b41ed66f1d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Sun, 26 Mar 2006 01:38:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] hrtimers: optimize softirq runqueues The hrtimer softirq is called from the timer softirq every tick. Retrieve the current time from xtime and wall_to_monotonic instead of calling base->get_time() for each timer base. Store the time in the base structure and provide a hook once clock source abstractions are in place and to keep the code open for new base clocks.
