At function calibrate_delay(void) in init/main.c,
I dont understand this code:

<<EOF
                /* wait for "start of" clock tick */
                ticks = jiffies;
                while (ticks == jiffies)
                        /* nothing */;
                /* Go .. */

                ticks = jiffies; 
EOF

ticks = jiffies; while (ticks == jiffies); ticks = jiffies; ?

Thanks in advanced,
-Thiago Rondon
