From 1d8d4be046521e16be6a5caa4d1c1854e5a8b1bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Warner Date: Mon, 3 Jun 2019 00:00:00 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] library: add a 'CPU_ZEROTICS' equivalent to api This patch just implements an equivalent to the master branch 'CPU_ZEROTICS' provision. However, the original impetus for that earlier implementation was ultimately attributed to a likely kernel anomaly since corrected. As a result, in this newlib implementation we take the opposite approach to the default behavior. There is no adjustment to TIC_SUM_DELTA values if fewer ticks than expected are recorded, unless the define is activated. The commit shown below explains why the 'CPU_ZEROTICS' define was retained in spite of the fix to the kernel.
