Subject: 2.4.0test11: "nanoseconds patch" (prerelease) available
Message-ID: <3A34934D.11549.2458DA@localhost>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org

Hi,

related to my question about having nanoseconds in xtime for Linux 2.5, 
two (or three) people were interested, or at least managed to route 
their message to me. As promised I have made an early release patch 
against 2.4.0test11 available at

ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux/daemons/ntp/PPS/pps-2.4-pre1.tar.bz2 (63kB, 
patch + digital signature)

The modified sources compile, link and boot (for arch/i386), but 
consider this code as alpha quality, and don't use it for production 
use. It is possible that it works perfectly, but I simply don't have 
the experience.

Fixes for any architectures are appreciated. Finally I want to get rid 
of gettimeoffset() and a lot of redundant code.

I noticed that the ATM drivers access xtime directly. If jiffies are 
not fine enough, do_gettimeofday() has to be called for now. If that's 
too slow, we have to think about an alternative.

Regards,
Ulrich
