My only caution here is you only get tick-granular time here. So if the second rolled over after the last tick, you'd get the previous second when you call get_seconds(). This can cause some surprising effects if the get_seconds() return value is mixed with clocksource granular gettimeofday() calls. thanks -john -- 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/
