I _am_ using the new subsystem interface (->mark_offset) to catch up with lost ticks. Only I don't think it is that good at catching up the lost ticks if we skip ticks for few seconds in a stretch. For ex: I am observing drift (time slows down) when skipping ticks for upto 5 seconds on a 699MHz P3 SMP hardware. Both TSC and ACPI pm timer give this drift. I am investigating this and will post an update as soon as I get more information. -- Thanks and Regards, Srivatsa Vaddagiri, Linux Technology Center, IBM Software Labs, Bangalore, INDIA - 560017 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
