Here's the patch to make sched_clock generic. I didn't know where to put it so I just made a new file in kernel/sched for now. Signed-off-by: Stephen Boyd <redacted>Hey Stephen, Baruch just asked a question about moving arm's sched_clock.c to be generic, and it sounded familiar, so I dug around and found this mail from a few months ago. Just wanted to follow up and see what the status is with this? Is this queued somewhere already?As far as I know nothing has been queued. I refreshed the patchset against 3.10-rc2 but haven't sent it out since it wasn't clear if anyone wanted it. Shall I send it again?
Please. Even if it need an eventual deeper rework to be totally generic, I think we need to start moving things in that generic direction. Baruch's case is a clear example where non-arm code could share it, so I think that's at least a good proof point that sharing is actually needed (rather then just for theoretical reasons). thanks -john
