From bf2ac312195155511a0f79325515cbb61929898a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Stultz Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2012 20:30:49 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] time: Avoid making adjustments if we haven't accumulated anything If update_wall_time() is called and the current offset isn't large enough to accumulate, avoid re-calling timekeeping_adjust which may change the clock freq and can cause 1ns inconsistencies with CLOCK_REALTIME_COARSE/CLOCK_MONOTONIC_COARSE.
