From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2008 12:30:02 +0000 (+0100) Subject: clocksource: make clocksource watchdog cycle through online CPUs X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~1151^2 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6993fc5bbc5d63ccd55985b39c34417e430e75e9;p=linux-2.6 clocksource: make clocksource watchdog cycle through online CPUs This way it checks if the clocks are synchronized between CPUs too. This might be able to detect slowly drifting TSCs which only go wrong over longer time.
