The tickless driver had a bunch of "hairy" APIs which forced the timer drivers to do needless low-level accounting for the benefit of the kernel, all of which then proceeded to implement them via cut and paste. Specifically the "program_time" calls forced the driver to expose to the kernel exactly when the next interrupt was due and how much time had elapsed, in a parallel API to the existing "what time is it" and "announce a tick" interrupts that carry the same information. Remove these from the kernel, replacing them with synthesized logic written in terms of the simpler APIs. In some cases there will be a performance impact due to the use of the 64 bit uptime call, but that will go away soon. Signed-off-by: Andy Ross <andrew.j.ross@intel.com> |
