2007-02-16[PATCH] Fix multiple conversion bugs in msecs_to_jiffiesIngo Molnar
Fix multiple conversion bugs in msecs_to_jiffies(). The main problem is that this condition: if (m > jiffies_to_msecs(MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET)) overflows if HZ is smaller than 1000! This change is user-visible: for HZ=250 SUS-compliant poll()-timeout value of -20 is mistakenly converted to 'immediate timeout'. (The new dyntick code also triggered this, that's how we noticed.)

2006-04-01Fix comments: s/granuality/granularity/Kalin KOZHUHAROV
I was grepping through the code and some `grep ganularity -R .` didn't catch what I thought. Then looking closer I saw the term "granuality" used in only four places (in comments) and granularity in many more places describing the same idea. Some other facts: dictionary.com does not know such a word define:granuality on google is not found (and pages for granuality are mostly related to patches to the kernel) it has not been discussed as a term on LKML, AFAICS (=Can Search) To be consistent, I think granularity should be used everywhere.

2006-03-26[PATCH] hrtimers: remove nsec_t typedefRoman Zippel
nsec_t predates ktime_t and has mostly been superseded by it. In the few places that are left it's better to make it explicit that we're dealing with 64 bit values here.

2006-03-25[PATCH] remove pps supportRoman Zippel
This removes the support for pps. It's completely unused within the kernel and is basically in the way for further cleanups. It should be easier to readd proper support for it after the rest has been converted to NTP4 (where the pps mechanisms are quite different from NTP3 anyway).

2005-12-12[PATCH] Add getnstimestamp functionMatt Helsley
There are several functions that might seem appropriate for a timestamp: get_cycles() current_kernel_time() do_gettimeofday() <read jiffies/jiffies_64> Each has problems with combinations of SMP-safety, low resolution, and monotonicity. This patch adds a new function that returns a monotonic SMP-safe timestamp with nanosecond resolution where available.

2005-10-30[PATCH] NTP shift_right cleanupjohn stultz
Create a macro shift_right() that avoids the numerous ugly conditionals in the NTP code that look like: if(a < 0) b = -(-a >> shift); else b = a >> shift; Replacing it with: b = shift_right(a, shift); This should have zero effect on the logic, however it should probably have a bit of testing just to be sure. Also replace open-coded min/max with the macros. Signed-off-by : John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-07-27[PATCH] clean up inline static vs static inlineJesper Juhl
`gcc -W' likes to complain if the static keyword is not at the beginning of the declaration. This patch fixes all remaining occurrences of "inline static" up with "static inline" in the entire kernel tree (140 occurrences in 47 files). While making this change I came across a few lines with trailing whitespace that I also fixed up, I have also added or removed a blank line or two here and there, but there are no functional changes in the patch.

2005-04-28[PATCH] time interpolator: Fix settimeofday inaccuracyChristoph Lameter
settimeofday will set the time a little bit too early on systems using time interpolation since it subtracts the current interpolator offset from the time. This used to be necessary with the code in 2.6.9 and earlier but the new code resets the time interpolator after setting the time. Thus the time is set too early and gettimeofday will return a time slightly before the time specified with settimeofday if invoked immeditely after settimeofday. This removes the obsolete subtraction of the time interpolator offset and makes settimeofday set the time accurately.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
