50 * Although our caller may have the read side of xtime_lock,
51 * this is now a seqlock, and we are cheating in this routine
52 * by having side effects on state that we cannot undo if
53 * there is a collision on the seqlock and our caller has to
54 * retry. (Namely, old_jifs and old_count.) So we must treat
55 * jiffies as volatile despite the lock. We read jiffies
56 * before latching the timer count to guarantee that although
57 * the jiffies value might be older than the count (that is,
58 * the counter may underflow between the last point where
59 * jiffies was incremented and the point where we latch the
60 * count), it cannot be newer.

76 * It's possible for count to appear to go the wrong way for a
79 * 1. The timer counter underflows, but we haven't handled the
80 * resulting interrupt and incremented jiffies yet.
81 * 2. Hardware problem with the timer, not giving us continuous time,
82 * the counter does small "jumps" upwards on some Pentium systems,
83 * (see c't 95/10 page 335 for Neptun bug.)
85 * Previous attempts to handle these cases intelligently were
86 * buggy, so we just do the simple thing now.
