    [PATCH] sched_clock() for ppc, ppc64, x86_64 and sparc64 · 2b7e8ff7
    Andrew Morton authored
    Ingo's CPU scheduler update (in -mm kernels) needs a new sched_clock()
    function which returns nanoseconds.
    
    The patch provides implementations for ppc, ppc64, x86_64 and sparc64.
    
    The x86_64 version could have overflow issues, the calculation is done in
    32bits only with an multiply.  But I hope it's good enough for the scheduler
    
    The ppc64 version needs scaling: it's only accurate for 1GHz CPUs.
