Subject: firewire: CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW exposure
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 11:57:10 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.2.10.1407161151450.24854@nanos> (raw)

Stefan,

I wonder why firewire exposed CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW to user space.

What's the purpose of that? CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is the raw time based
on the initial frequency setup of the clocksource. That can be quite
off from the NTP corrected frequency which is exposed by
CLOCK_MONOTONIC.

If there is no real good reason, I'd really like to remove that.

Thanks,

	tglx
