[PATCH -rt 3/9] Fix jiffies wrap issue in update_times

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In prior -rt verisons the last_tick value was called wall_jiffies 
and was initialized in this same way as below. If this value isn't
initialized the calc_load function gets skewed for several minutes
right after boot up. Skewed meaning always zero.
