So does i386 convert the return value of the times(2) call to user hertz? On IA64, it returns the value in internal clock ticks, and then when a program uses the value in param.h, it gets it wrong now, because internal HZ is now 250. So is times() is broken in IA64, or is this an exception to Alan's statement?
The Linux man page for times(2) specifically says "ticks" and refers to sysconf for how to determine how long a "tick" is. So ia64 matches the man page. Dunno if that matches POSIX though. -Tony - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ia64" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
