69 * The random_get_entropy() function is used by the /dev/random driver
70 * in order to extract entropy via the relative unpredictability of
71 * when an interrupt takes places versus a high speed, fine-grained
72 * timing source or cycle counter. Since it will be occurred on every
73 * single interrupt, it must have a very low cost/overhead.
75 * By default we use get_cycles() for this purpose, but individual
76 * architectures may override this in their asm/timex.h header file.
78 #define random_get_entropy() get_cycles()
82 * SHIFT_PLL is used as a dampening factor to define how much we
83 * adjust the frequency correction for a given offset in PLL mode.
84 * It also used in dampening the offset correction, to define how
85 * much of the current value in time_offset we correct for each
86 * second. Changing this value changes the stiffness of the ntp
87 * adjustment code. A lower value makes it more flexible, reducing
88 * NTP convergence time. A higher value makes it stiffer, increasing
89 * convergence time, but making the clock more stable.
91 * In David Mills' nanokernel reference implementation SHIFT_PLL is 4.
92 * However this seems to increase convergence time much too long.
94 * https://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/hackers/2008-January/003487.html
96 * In the above mailing list discussion, it seems the value of 4
97 * was appropriate for other Unix systems with HZ=100, and that
98 * SHIFT_PLL should be decreased as HZ increases. However, Linux's
99 * clock steering implementation is HZ independent.
101 * Through experimentation, a SHIFT_PLL value of 2 was found to allow
102 * for fast convergence (very similar to the NTPv3 code used prior to
103 * v2.6.19), with good clock stability.
106 * SHIFT_FLL is used as a dampening factor to define how much we
107 * adjust the frequency correction for a given offset in FLL mode.
108 * In David Mills' nanokernel reference implementation SHIFT_FLL is 2.
110 * MAXTC establishes the maximum time constant of the PLL.
