From 5a07a30c3cc4dc438494d6416ffa74008a2194b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venkatesh Pallipadi Date: Wed, 11 Jan 2006 22:44:18 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Remove sub jiffy profile timer support Remove the finer control of local APIC timer. We cannot provide a sub-jiffy control like this when we use broadcast from external timer in place of local APIC. Instead of removing this only on systems that may end up using broadcast from external timer (due to C3), I am going the "I'm feeling lucky" way to remove this fully. Basically, I am not sure about usefulness of this code today. Few other architectures also don't seem to support this today. If you are using profiling and fine grained control and don't like this going away in normal case, yell at me right now.
