Just idle curiosity: Does frequently dropped time of day clock interrupts still give the typical linux kernel time keeping fits (to pick an example, the kernel version shipped with redhat enterprise linux)?
Wasn't there some talk once of (on i86, anwyay) using something like the TSC register to interpolate the interval between time of day interrupts so you could get smooth time keeping even if you missed some interrupts? Has anything like that made it into commonly distributed linux kernels? How tricky does it get if the kernel also supports variable clock speeds for power saving? :-). -- >>==>> The *Best* political site <URL:http://www.vote-smart.org/> >>==+ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] icbm: Delray Beach, FL | <URL:http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley> Free Software and Politics <<==+ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
