If HZ is 1000, jiffies_64_to_clock_t is going to divide jiffies by 10, so we need to start with 64 bits in order to get the top few bits of a 32-bit result correct. > BTW, I think time(2) needs this: In principle you are correct, but it's only going to matter for a little over an hour some time in the year 2106. :) Paul. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
