jiffies 和 jiffies_64 的联系与区别
HZ 和 CONFIG_HZ 宏定义的位置：
实际上在 linux-2.6.x/include/asm/param.h 定义了HZ的值：

#ifndef __ASM_PARAM_H
#define __ASM_PARAM_H
#ifdef __KERNEL__
# define HZ CONFIG_HZ /* Internal kernel timer frequency */
# define USER_HZ 100 /* User interfaces are in "ticks" */
# define CLOCKS_PER_SEC (USER_HZ) /* like times() */

#endif
#define EXEC_PAGESIZE 4096
#ifndef NOGROUP
#define NOGROUP (-1)
#endif
/* max length of hostname */

#endif
CONFIG_HZ的值可以在make menuconfig时设置，表示每秒钟定时器发生中断的次数，默认值是250。
jiffies位于 include/linux/jiffies.h 文件当中：

/*

* model. The HZ variable establishes the timer interrupt frequency, 100 Hz
* for the SunOS kernel, 256 Hz for the Ultrix kernel and 1024 Hz for the
