The idea is to just have the apic timers roughly at the same times + some fixed offset as the main timer. Otherwise e.g. add_timer could jitter up to a jiffie regarding the jiffies counter. But long term drift will destroy the synchronization anyways. I guess i'll send it in anyways for .23; it would be too risky to change anything radical in this area that late. Then later it can be revisited. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
