From 000775c50a19fa899121115f57f355c7f26e4346 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2008 05:09:06 -0800 Subject: [SPARC]: Make gettimeofday() monotonic again. When we switched away from the optimized C version things stopped being monotonic. The problem is that if we run this with interrupts disabled, we can see the interrupt pending because the counter reached the limit value. When this happens the counter has bit 31 set, and the low bits start counting again from zero. Reported by Martin Habets. Signed-off-by: David S.
