From: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>
commit fe2cc53ee013a4d4d0317d418e7019fe6533a5a8 upstream
Alarm delivery could be noticably late in the !CONFIG_NOHZ case because lost
ticks weren't being taken into account. This is now treated more carefully,
with the time between ticks being calculated and the appropriate number of
ticks delivered to the timekeeping system.
