From 65516f8a7c2028381f0dae4c16ddb621c96158cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Martin Schwidefsky Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:29:43 +0200 Subject: clockevents: Add direct ktime programming function There is at least one architecture (s390) with a sane clockevent device that can be programmed with the equivalent of a ktime. No need to create a delta against the current time, the ktime can be used directly. A new clock device function 'set_next_ktime' is introduced that is called with the unmodified ktime for the timer if the clock event device has the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_KTIME bit set.
