After my previous patches to convert users of CLOCK_TICK_RATE
to ARM_TICK_RATE or PIT_TICK_RATE, the only remaining user
is ACT_HZ in linux/jiffies.h.
This makes the definition of CLOCK_TICK_RATE optional
and removes it from all architectures that were using
an incorrect definition.
avr32 and ia64 have values that are entirely fabricated
in order to avoid having to define a correct rate.
frv, m68k, mips, mn10300, parisc, s390, sparc, sparc64
and xtensa were all using the PIT tick rate of
1193182 HZ despite normally not basing their timer
tick off an i8253 timer. This was correct for most
other uses in the kernel, but caused a slightly
incorrect ACTHZ value, possibly leading to clock
drift.
The remaining users seem to be correct in the sense
that the CLOCK_TICK_RATE they define is in some way
related to the actual interval timer they use for
clock ticks:
alpha:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE 32768
arm:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE ARM_TICK_RATE
blackfin:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE 1000000
cris/arch-v10:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE 25000
cris/arch-v32:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE 100000000
h8300:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE (CONFIG_CPU_CLOCK*1000/8192)
m32r:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE (CONFIG_BUS_CLOCK / CONFIG_TIMER_DIVIDE)
powerpc:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE 1024000
sh:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE (CONFIG_SH_PCLK_FREQ / 4)
um:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE (HZ)
x86:#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE PIT_TICK_RATE
PowerPC actually has a number of different time base values
per architecture, but maybe 1024000 is a common divisor for
all of them. Blackfin looks fabricated, but could be correct.
On x86, there is a choice between various time sources,
so using PIT_TICK_RATE may no longer be the best option.
