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,
