Subject: timers: split process wide cpu clocks/timers, fix
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3fccfd67df79c6351a156eb25a7a514e5f39c4d9;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

timers: split process wide cpu clocks/timers, fix

To decrease the chance of a missed enable, always enable the timer when we
sample it, we'll always disable it when we find that there are no active timers
in the jiffy tick.

This fixes a flood of warnings reported by Mike Galbraith.
