I'm trying to figure out all the ramifications of the new "cycle_accumulated" field. Does it really need to be propagated all the way to the low level assembler (which I don't want to mess with unless I really, really have to). Can't I do the necessary calculations in update_vsyscall() [Where I can do them in C :-)] and keep the same low level assembly code. I think I must be missing some important bit of what is going on here. -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/
