From 2eebdde6528a722fbf8e2cffcf7aa52cbb4c2de0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Cochran Date: Sun, 21 Dec 2014 19:47:06 +0100 Subject: timecounter: keep track of accumulated fractional nanoseconds MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The current timecounter implementation will drop a variable amount of resolution, depending on the magnitude of the time delta. In other words, reading the clock too often or too close to a time stamp conversion will introduce errors into the time values. This patch fixes the issue by introducing a fractional nanosecond field that accumulates the low order bits. Reported-by: Janusz Użycki Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S.
