The 64bit nature of some entities was so far necessary to get the proper accuracy of interpolation. Maybe it can be made to work with 32 bit entities. The macro GET_TI_SECS must work correctly and the less bits are specified in shift the less self-tuning accuracy you will get. - 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/
