"quite unlikely" ... Hmmm just how fast are you driving the clocks on your ppc? Even at 100GHz It is almost SIX YEARS between wrap-arounds of a 64-bit counter. Perhaps you could just have a cron job that forces a call to update_wall_time() every January 1st, rather than add extra code overhead to a hot path :-) ? But I agree that narrower counters are a problem. -Tony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
