Subject: Re: [RFC][PATCH] tsc_khz= boot option to avoid TSC calibration variance
Date: 11 May 2009 02:54:24 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090511065424.25138.qmail@science.horizon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1241809372.7297.3.camel@localhost.localdomain>

Just as a data point, I have this patch running on two PPS-synced
NTP servers with apparent success.  After thinking through the sign
conventions carefully, (if NTP reports a that it is applying a positive
clock frequency adjustment, the TSC frequency should be reduced by that
amount), I now have the NTP frequency offset within a couple PPM of 0.

Thanks for the patch!
