      clockevents: Remove the per cpu tick skew · af5ab277
      Arjan van de Ven authored
      Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the
      various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on
      xtime_lock.
      
      Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens
      since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition,
      this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on
      many-core systems.
