From a7ea3bbf5d58f4df2265d312f91d5769eabc8144 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Catalin Marinas Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:48:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] time/jiffies: Allow CLOCK_TICK_RATE to be undefined CLOCK_TICK_RATE is a legacy constant that defines the timer device's granularity. On hardware with particularly coarse granularity, this constant is used to reduce accumulated time error when using jiffies as a clocksource, by calculating the hardware's actual tick length rather then just assuming it is 1sec/HZ. However, for the most part this is unnecessary, as most modern systems don't use jiffies for their clocksource, and their tick device is sufficiently fine grained to avoid major error. Thus, this patch allows an architecture to not define CLOCK_TICK_RATE, in which case ACTHZ defaults to (HZ << 8).
