From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Mallick, Asit K" Date: Fri, 09 Nov 2001 01:31:47 +0000 Subject: RE: [Linux-ia64] itc sync & clock_* Message-Id: List-Id: References: In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-ia64@vger.kernel.org David/Jesse, We have got an agreement with the Intel SAL team on defining the bit 3 of the SAL platform features as the following: 0 - no ITC drift 1 - ITC may drift We will get this definition reviewed by other SAL users/members and do not expect any problem with the review. The definition should not affect most of the FWs since this bit is already set to 0 and ITCs do not drift. The specification will be updated and currently it is planned for Q1 next year.
