Subject: Question: monolitic_clock, timer_{tsc,hpet} and CPUFREQ
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2003 22:14:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200309042214.28179.dtor_core@ameritech.net> (raw)

I noticed that although timer_tsc registers cpufreq notifier to detect
frequency changes and adjust cpu_khz it does not set cyc2ns_scale. Is
monotonic clocks supposed to be also accurate?

Will something like this suffice for timer_tsc (compiled, not yet booted):
