* [PATCH] ntp: avoid time_offset overflowsjohn stultz2007-03-271-14/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I've been seeing some odd NTP behavior recently on a few boxes and finally narrowed it down to time_offset overflowing when converted to SHIFT_UPDATE units (which was a side effect from my HZfreeNTP patch). This patch converts time_offset from a long to a s64 which resolves the issue.

* [PATCH] HZ free ntpjohn stultz2007-02-161-11/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Distangle the NTP update from HZ. This is necessary for dynamic tick enabled kernels.

* [PATCH] time_adjust cleared before useJim Houston2006-10-281-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | I notice that the code which implements adjtime clears the time_adjust value before using it. The attached patch makes the obvious fix.

* [PATCH] kernel/time/ntp.c: possible cleanupsAdrian Bunk2006-10-011-20/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch contains the following possible cleanups: - make the following needlessly global function static: - ntp_update_frequency() - make the following needlessly global variables static: - time_state - time_offset - time_constant - time_reftime - remove the following read-only global variable: - time_precision Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Cc: Roman Zippel <zippel@linux-m68k.org> Cc: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] ntp: convert to the NTP4 reference modelRoman Zippel2006-10-011-32/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This converts the kernel ntp model into a model which matches the nanokernel reference implementations. The previous patches already increased the resolution and precision of the computations, so that this conversion becomes quite simple. <linux@horizon.com> explains: The original NTP kernel interface was defined in units of microseconds. That's what Linux implements. As computers have gotten faster and can now split microseconds easily, a new kernel interface using nanosecond units was defined ("the nanokernel", confusing as that name is to OS hackers), and there's an STA_NANO bit in the adjtimex() status field to tell the application which units it's using. The current ntpd supports both, but Linux loses some possible timing resolution because of quantization effects, and the ntpd hackers would really like to be able to drop the backwards compatibility code. Ulrich Windl has been maintaining a patch set to do the conversion for years, but it's hard to keep in sync.

* [PATCH] ntp: convert time_freq to nsec valueRoman Zippel2006-10-011-14/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | This converts time_freq to a scaled nsec value and adds around 6bit of extra resolution. This pushes the time_freq to its 32bit limits so the calculatons have to be done with 64bit.

* [PATCH] ntp: remove time_toleranceRoman Zippel2006-10-011-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | time_tolerance isn't changed at all in the kernel, so simply remove it, this simplifies the next patch, as it avoids a number of conversions.

* [PATCH] ntp: add time_adjust to tick lengthRoman Zippel2006-10-011-53/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | This folds update_ntp_one_tick() into second_overflow() and adds time_adjust to the tick length, this makes time_next_adjust unnecessary. This slightly changes the adjtime() behaviour, instead of applying it to the next tick, it's applied to the next second.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces ntp_update_frequency() and deinlines ntp_clear() (as it's not performance critical). ntp_update_frequency() calculates the base tick length using tick_usec and adds a base adjustment, in case the frequency doesn't divide evenly by HZ.
