[PATCH 05/13] hrtimer: optimize hrtimer_run_queues

From: Roman Zippel
Date: Sun Feb 12 2006 - 20:09:14 EST



Every time hrtimer_run_queues() is called, get_time() is called twice,
which can be quite expensive, just reading xtime is much cheaper and
does the same job (at least for the current low resolution timer, for
high resolution timer we can something different later).
Cache the expiry time in last_expired, so run_hrtimer_queue() doesn't
has to calculate it (clock sources usually know when their expired).
