The patch titled ntp: increase time_offset resolution has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ntp-increase-time_offset-resolution.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ntp: increase time_offset resolution From: Roman Zippel <zippel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> time_offset is already a 64bit value but its resolution barely used, so this makes better use of it by replacing SHIFT_UPDATE with TICK_LENGTH_SHIFT. Side note: the SHIFT_HZ in SHIFT_UPDATE was incorrect for CONFIG_NO_HZ and the primary reason for changing time_offset to 64bit to avoid the overflow.
