From: Yang Yingliang Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2015 10:20:55 +0000 (+0800) Subject: clocksource: Make clocksource validation work for all clocksources X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1f45f1f33c8c8b96722dbc5e6b7acf74eaa721f7;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git clocksource: Make clocksource validation work for all clocksources The clocksource validation which makes sure that the newly read value is not smaller than the last value only works if the clocksource mask is 64bit, i.e. the counter is 64bit wide. But we want to use that mechanism also for clocksources which are less than 64bit wide. So instead of checking whether bit 63 is set, we check whether the most significant bit of the clocksource mask is set in the delta result. If it is set, we return 0.
