Is do_gettimeofday supposed to be monotonous? I'm seeing time go backward by tiny amounts, and then progressing.
I'm using do_gettimeofday on a single processor, CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE=y, and saving stuff from generic_make_request - see http://ds9a.nl/diskstat for the source. 2.6.13-rc3-mm1, HZ=250. I'll try to figure out how much it is going back, and it is some kind of magic interval. Is there another monotonous clock in the kernel that doesn't wrap (all that often)? Doesn't really need to be wall time.
