Alex Williamson 486d46aefe [PATCH] optimize writer path in time_interpolator_get_counter() 
Christoph Lameter <clameter@engr.sgi.com>

When using a time interpolator that is susceptible to jitter there's
potentially contention over a cmpxchg used to prevent time from going
backwards.  This is unnecessary when the caller holds the xtime write
seqlock as all readers will be blocked from returning until the write is
complete.  We can therefore allow writers to insert a new value and exit
rather than fight with CPUs who only hold a reader lock.
