Recently on the lkml, we discussed how to allow adjustment of posix clocks. I have tried to understand and implement the ideas expressed in the various threads. If there is agreement on this approach, I will resubmit these two patches as part of a longer series, including support for a new kind of hardware clock, so you can see how it all fits together. But first, I would like to concentrate on the new syscall itself. The patches are against a recent net-next tree. Please don't worry if the syscall tables are not quite up to date. I can fix that later. Thanks, Richard Richard Cochran (2): posix clocks: introduce a syscall for clock tuning. posix clocks: introduce a sysfs presence.
