    ia64: convert to legacy_timer_tick · 2b49ddce
    Arnd Bergmann authored
    ia64 is the only architecture that calls xtime_update() in a loop,
    once for each jiffie that has passed since the last event.
    
    Before commit 3171a030 ("[PATCH] simplify update_times (avoid
    jiffies/jiffies_64 aliasing problem)") in 2006, it could not actually do
    this any differently, but now it seems simpler to just pass the number
    of jiffies that passed in the meantime.
    
    While this loses the ability process interrupts in the middle of
    the timer tick by calling local_irq_enable(), doing so is fairly
    peculiar anyway and it seems better to just do what everyone
    else does here.
