    sched/clock, x86: Rewrite cyc2ns() to avoid the need to disable IRQs · 20d1c86a
    Peter Zijlstra authored
    Use a ring-buffer like multi-version object structure which allows
    always having a coherent object; we use this to avoid having to
    disable IRQs while reading sched_clock() and avoids a problem when
    getting an NMI while changing the cyc2ns data.
