[RFC][PATCH 2/2] Greatly improve TSC calibration using a timer
Boot to boot the TSC calibration may vary by quite a large amount. While normal variance of 50-100ppm can easily be seen, the quick calibration code only requires 500ppm accuracy, which is the limit of what NTP can correct for. This can cause problems for systems being used as NTP servers, as every time they r... 27 Jul 2010 22:48
