[patch 0/4] time/timekeeping: Simplify vsyscall locking

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Tue Feb 28 2012 - 14:46:59 EST


vsyscall updates have a separate seqlock which nests into
xtime_lock. There is no point to grab another lock for nothing. All it
needs is to update the seqcount which is user space visible.

The following series cleans that up.

Thanks,

tglx
