From a399e3fa795afa058e4485b25c498e0c5a860428 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Pitre Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 00:42:36 -0400 Subject: [ARM] orion: make sure sched_clock() usage of cnt32_to_63() is safe With a TCLK = 200MHz, the half period of the hardware timer is roughly 10 seconds. Because cnt32_to_63() must be called at least once per half period of the base hardware counter, it is a bit risky to rely solely on scheduling to generate frequent enough calls. Let's use a kernel timer to ensure this.
