You have my vote for that one. Anything else is just going to cause those broken userapps to continue doing the wrong thing. We should really do this on all archs though.
No need, all current mainstream architectures expose a constant user HZ. Alan -------------------------------------------------------------- Note that Alan didn't claim that *all* (Linux-supported) architectures expose a constant user HZ, only the "mainstream" ones. I won't get into the debate as to what qualifies as "mainstream", but clearly IA64 does not (and should not) expose a constant value, since there were no legacy-binary-issue and we chose to insist that apps should uses sysconf() or equivalent if they need to know the clocktick. --david -- Mosberger Consulting LLC, http://www.mosberger-consulting.com/ - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
