Subject: [Linux-ia64] fix for slow running time-of-day
Date: Sat, 23 Sep 2000 06:25:03 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590678205517@msgid-missing> (raw)
This patch fixes the time drift problem that has been plaguing us for
a while. It turns out that without it, time was running behind by
about 0.3%. Doesn't sound like a lot, but amounts to about 5 min/day.
Linus already accepted this patch for test9-pre6.
Enjoy,
