So this hack checks to see if it is set before calling > cpu_clock(): Can you guys on IA64 possibly set ar.k3 simply to zero or to some other similar value which cancels out the per-cpu computation? That's what sparc64 and other platforms do. -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
