This patch provides an extension to the POSIX clocks and timers to define two new high resolution clocks (CLOCK_REALTIME_HR and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_HR). The resolution of these clocks can be set at CONFIGURE time, with the default being 10 micro seconds. The high res clocks can be used with clock_nanosleep() as well as with the POSIX timers. This version uses apic timers to obtain much better accuracy and simplicity. -- George Anzinger george@mvista.com High-res-timers: http://sourceforge.net/projects/high-res-timers/ Preemption patch: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rml
