Given the Linux kernel developers' past history of breaking NTP, have they made all the necessary enhancements to gettimeofday to ensure that it progresses the kernel discipline correctly to account for the missing updates. (Of course it also needs to do the same when it does schedule a clock event. Have they considered the resulting increased processing time, and more importantly, variability in processing time of gettimeofday? To really go tickless well with NTP you need to move the kernel time discipline into the hardware! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
