[PATCH MANUALSEL 4.19 2/4] time/sched_clock: Round the frequency reported to nearest rather than down

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

[ Upstream commit 92067440f1311dfa4d77b57a9da6b3706f5da32e ]

The frequency reported for clock sources are rounded down, which gives
misleading figures, e.g.:

 I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999480Hz
 sched_clock: 32 bits at 24MHz, resolution 40ns, wraps every 85901132779ns
 MIPS counter frequency 59998512Hz
 sched_clock: 32 bits at 59MHz, resolution 16ns, wraps every 35792281591ns

Rounding to nearest is more adequate:

 I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999664Hz
 sched_clock: 32 bits at 25MHz, resolution 40ns, wraps every 85900499947ns
 MIPS counter frequency 59999728Hz
 sched_clock: 32 bits at 60MHz, resolution 16ns, wraps every 35791556599ns
