Hello, I looked at this subsystem, trying to understand how this works on Linux but call me a dumb xxx but I think I really miss something.
First I tried to find some documentation on the current implementation but haven't found any thing really usefull. Specially there's nothing about it in Documentation/ directory. Please correct me if I'm already wrong. Actually I read the implementation of update_wall_time() and I really fail to understand how it works. This is probably because I don't know what "xtime_nsec" and "error" fields in clocksource struct are for. These fields are not documented anywhere in the source code so it should be obvious but unfortunately not for me. Another example almost the first thing done by this function is: clock->xtime_nsec += (s64)xtime.tv_nsec << clock->shift; What's the hell this ? I know I'm stupid but please enlight me ;) Thanks -- Francis -- 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/
