28 * denominator clock source which should function on
29 * all systems. It has the same coarse resolution as
30 * the timer interrupt frequency HZ and it suffers
31 * inaccuracies caused by missed or lost timer
32 * interrupts and the inability for the timer
33 * interrupt hardware to accuratly tick at the
34 * requested HZ value. It is also not reccomended
35 * for "tick-less" systems.

39/* Since jiffies uses a simple NSEC_PER_JIFFY multiplier
40 * conversion, the .shift value could be zero. However
41 * this would make NTP adjustments impossible as they are
42 * in units of 1/2^.shift. Thus we use JIFFIES_SHIFT to
43 * shift both the nominator and denominator the same
44 * amount, and give ntp adjustments in units of 1/2^8
45 *
46 * The value 8 is somewhat carefully chosen, as anything
47 * larger can result in overflows. NSEC_PER_JIFFY grows as
025dfdaf 48 * HZ shrinks, so values greater than 8 overflow 32bits when
