From ef969434005e772218c0b8086539804605070fa8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2005 18:41:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] ppc32: set smp_tb_synchronized on UP with SMP kernel ppc32 kernel, when built with CONFIG_SMP and booted on a single CPU machine, will not properly set smp_tb_synchronized, thus causing gettimeofday() to not use the HW timebase and to be limited to jiffy resolution. This, among others, causes unacceptable pauses when launching X.org.
