From d6ad418763888f617ac5b4849823e4cd670df1dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:50:11 -0800 Subject: time: Kill xtime_lock, replacing it with jiffies_lock Now that timekeeping is protected by its own locks, rename the xtime_lock to jifffies_lock to better describe what it protects.
