From: john stultz Date: Sun, 10 Feb 2008 09:48:03 +0000 (+0100) Subject: ntp: correct inconsistent interval/tick_length usage X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc1~5^2~3 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e13a2e61dd5152f5499d2003470acf9c838eab84;p=linux-2.6 ntp: correct inconsistent interval/tick_length usage clocksource initialization and error accumulation. This corrects a 280ppm drift seen on some systems using acpi_pm, and affects other clocksources as well (likely to a lesser degree).
