Instead, at least calling sched_clock() would be preferable, because that always needs to return _something_, even falling back to jiffies eventually. It's not as though sched_clock() is super high precision or guaranteed to be entropic, but basically anything that's not zero all the time is better than returning zero all the time. If CONFIG_X86_TSC=n, then it's possible that we're running on a 486 with no RDTSC, so we only need the fallback code for that case. Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: x86@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jason A.
