Frederic Weisbecker fa3aa7a54f jiffies: Revert bogus conversion of NSEC_PER_SEC to TICK_NSEC
commit 93825f2ec7 converted NSEC_PER_SEC to TICK_NSEC because the author
confused NSEC_PER_JIFFY with NSEC_PER_SEC.

As a result, the calculation of refined jiffies got broken, triggering
lockups.

Fixes: 93825f2ec7 ("jiffies: Reuse TICK_NSEC instead of NSEC_PER_JIFFY")

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
