From 1aa5dfb751d275ae7117d3b73ac423b4a46f2a73 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:37:28 -0700 Subject: clocksource: keep track of original clocksource frequency The clocksource frequency is represented by clocksource->mult/2^(clocksource->shift). Currently, when NTP makes adjustments to the clock frequency, they are made directly to the mult value. This has the drawback that once changed, we cannot know what the orignal mult value was, or how much adjustment has been applied. This property causes problems in calculating proper ntp intervals when switching back and forth between clocksources. This patch separates the current mult value into a mult and mult_orig pair. The mult_orig value stays constant, while the ntp clocksource adjustments are done only to the mult value. This allows for correct ntp interval calculation and additionally lays the groundwork for a new notion of time, what I'm calling the monotonic-raw time, which is introduced in a following patch.
